While trekking on a combination of well-maintained single-track paths and rugged, undulating jeep trails, we saw beautiful scenery as we traveled through villages and over lush rice paddies.

Hiking in the central region of Cuc Phuong National Park offers breathtaking views of Vietnam's most diversified national park, which is home to a wide range of unusual plants and animals in the limestone mountain forest. Several rare species of primates, including loris, langurs, and gibbons, which are found throughout Vietnam but are in risk of going extinct, can be seen at the endangered Primates Rescued Center.
