Cucphuong national park
3 days/2nights
Vietnam’s forests
remain relatively unexplored and only recently
have several areas been designated as nature
preserves to protect the countries’ existing and
endangered species. In some of these parks exist
a wide variety of plant, bird, and mammal
species including those listed in the World Red
Book.
Cuc Phuong National
Park is one of Vietnam’s most important nature
reserves. The Park’s primary tropical rainforest
is home to an amazing variety of wildlife and in
recent years several species have been
discovered here. This trip combines a short trek
through Cuc Phuong with a visit to Kenhga vilage,
the quaint rural village in Red River Delta.
