Have buffet lunch at restaurant then leave Ho Chi Minh for Cu Chi tunnels. Here you will have the opportunity to witness how rice paper is made and to explore the amazing labyrinth of tunnels used by the guerrillas during the war.

The Cu Chi area is famous for its 200 kilometer network of underground tunnels, which were used by the Viet Cong forces to fight against both the French and later the Americans. From the mid 1940’s onwards, the Viet Cong managed to dig up to 12 meters down on hard soil, using only rudimentary tools. Most tunnels were only 60-70 centimeters wide, and 1.5 meters high, with thick roofs capable of withstanding the weight of tanks or the impact of bombs weighing up to 100 kilograms.

Before visiting the tunnel system, you will be shown a video explaining the history of the tunnels and their design. The Viet Cong used them as a base from which they could launch strategic attacks on the Americans and then seemingly disappear. Unknowingly, the Americans even built a base camp on top of an existing tunnel network, suffering extensive casualties until they discovered their mistake. The tunnel entrances are well hidden. Many rooms have been opened and ventilated so that you can more easily experience the underground meeting rooms, kitchen, hospital and sleeping areas. More adventurous tunnel explorers can experience an unlit tunnel passage which has not been enlarged for the comfort of visitors!
