El norte de Vietnam de un vistazo: Bahía de Halong y Sapa - 5 días

Arrive at Lao Cai Train Station around 05:00 AM, then take a one-hour bus ride uphill to the picturesque town of Sapa. Along the way, enjoy breathtaking views of the stunning landscapes and iconic rice terraces that make Sapa a must-visit destination.

09:30 AM – Meet your local guide and begin your trekking adventure. The initial part follows a road before turning onto a small trail that winds down into the valley towards Y Linh Ho village, nestled by the Muong Hoa River. From here, continue trekking to Lao Chai village, home to the Black Hmong people—one of the largest ethnic minorities in the Sapa region. The Black Hmong have their own language and wear traditional indigo-blue clothing. Until recently, they followed a nomadic lifestyle, and traces of their past can still be seen in rudimentary houses and stone-walled homes.

The journey continues to Ta Van village (1,200m), where you'll meet the Zay people, a relatively small ethnic group of around 38,000 people living in the mountains of Northwest Vietnam.

After exploring Ta Van village, return to Sapa town by car. The rest of the day is free for you to relax or explore at your leisure.

Accommodation: Hotel in Sapa

In the morning, enjoy breakfast at the hotel, then check out.

Start the day with a leisurely 3 km walk southwest of Sapa to Cat Cat Village, home to the Black Hmong people—one of Sapa’s most well-known ethnic communities. Take in the breathtaking scenery, relax by the stunning waterfall, and explore the remnants of a hydroelectric power station built by the French during Vietnam's colonial era.

Enjoy a picnic lunch by the river, then continue trekking another 3 km to Sin Chai Village, located at the foot of Fansipan Mountain, also known as the "Roof of Indochina." From here, soak in the spectacular mountain landscape before heading back to the main road for your transfer back to Sapa town (3 km).

15:00 – Your driver will pick you up for a 5-hour transfer to Hanoi.
