Be immersed in the beauty and wonder Vietnam has to offer! With ever-increasing popularity, Vietnam has become the destination to explore. Learn about the country’s vast history, its ancient culture, and the unbelievably good food. Visit ancient Buddhist temples and the Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university. Experience Hanoi by cyclo as you ride around the Old Quarter, or let the birder in you enjoy the Thung Nham Bird Garden as you take in the lush environment. Lastly, take in the country’s devastating history of war by visiting the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), the My Lai Massacre Site, and the Center for Agent Orange Victims in Da Nang. These important sites teach us about the sobering events of the Vietnam War from different perspectives. From the educational opportunities to the cultural immersion in each city – this trip will be one of a lifetime!
