CU CHI TUNNELS – BLACK VIRGIN MOUNTAIN

Embark on an unforgettable full-day journey from Ho Chi Minh City to explore two of Southern Vietnam’s most fascinating destinations — the Cu Chi Tunnels and Black Virgin Mountain (Tây Ninh).

Begin your adventure with a visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels, located about 60 km from Ho Chi Minh City. This legendary underground network stretches over 250 km and played a crucial role during the Vietnam War. Recognized as one of Southeast Asia’s top adventure destinations and among the world’s twelve most remarkable underground wonders, Cu Chi offers a rare glimpse into the resilience and ingenuity of Vietnamese soldiers. Watch a short documentary, crawl through narrow tunnels used during wartime, and even sample traditional soldier dishes for a truly immersive experience.

Continue your journey to Tây Ninh Province, home to the majestic Black Virgin Mountain (Ba Đen Mountain) — the highest peak in southern Vietnam at 986 meters. Enjoy breathtaking views, learn about the mountain’s cultural and spiritual significance, and, if you wish, take the modern cable car for a panoramic ride over lush landscapes. Nearby, visit the Tây Ninh Holy See, the magnificent temple of the Cao Dai religion, famous for its colorful architecture that harmoniously blends Buddhism, Christianity, and Taoism. Conclude your day at Gò Kén Pagoda, where intricate carvings and vibrant altars reflect Vietnam’s rich spiritual heritage before returning to Ho Chi Minh City.
