Children riding on the backs of water buffaloes and farmers tending to endless rice paddie fields are the backdrop of a journey here. The rural communities and friendly locals that call this region home make the Mekong Delta not only a fascinating travel destination for its landscape, but for its people as well. It sounds great, right? Let’s join us in 4 days or see more options in our Mekong delta tours and find the best for you!
