After leaving Hoi An, your first stops are at a 1000 year old Cham temple and the former US and French bases from the independence wars. Then, you will wind your way into the mountains through luxurious tea plantations, which are home to the people of the Co Tu minority. You will have a short break to enjoy a stop at a tea plantation before visiting one of the few remaining Co Tu woodcarvers and his family. You will enjoy a home cooked lunch in their house before keeping on your journey deep into the mountains. The culture and traditions of this very isolated area remain essentially untouched by time; making this remote and staggeringly charming region home to one of the most authentic hill tribes remaining in Vietnam.
