Discover the Cu Chi Tunnels, a network of underground passageways located about 70 kilometers northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, on a tour from the city. Learn about the resilience of the Vietcong during the Vietnam War as you explore the tunnels.

The Cu Chi Tunnels are a striking testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietcong (the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam). These tunnels played a pivotal role during the Vietnam War, providing a subterranean refuge for Vietnamese fighters and civilians alike.

Delve into the daily life and strategies of the Vietcong, revealing the remarkable adaptability and tenacity required to survive and thrive under such extreme conditions. Learn how the tunnels were constructed beginning in the late 1940s, during the First Indochina War against French colonial forces.

However, they gained prominence during the Vietnam War (1955-1975), as they became a critical element of the Vietcong’s strategy against the American-backed South Vietnamese government. The tunnels extended over 250 kilometers, forming an extensive underground network that included living quarters, storage facilities, hospitals, and command centers.
