Popular with visitors due to its natural beauty, this limestone peak-covered area is a must-see. Your travel time today will be approximately 4.5 hours.

When you arrive, you’ll head into Cuc Phuong National Park – Vietnam's first national park and the country's largest nature reserve.

You’ll see some of the animals that live here (the resident wildlife can’t re-enter the wild due to injury), then you’ll head to lunch at the National Park restaurant.
