Special interest - Anthropological ExperiencesVietnam is a multi-ethnic country with over fifty distinct groups (54 are recognised by the Vietnamese government), each with its own language, lifestyle, and cultural heritage. Because of its wide variety of peoples, religions, and languages, especially for its size, Vietnam is a wonderful place to explore.
Bac Ha MarketNestled in the northern hills of Vietnam exists one of the most bustling ethnic markets in all of Southeast Asia! On Sundays, the ethnic minorities from the surrounding villages and hills come by foot, motorbike, by horse, and by buffalo for their chance to socialize, eat, drink, trade and get a haircut. It is a blur of colourful plaids and stripes. Bac Ha market is about 3 hours from Sapa.
The Spirit Tree (*recommended)Follow a mountain stream and trek through the villages of Sa Pa and Xa Seng and it will certainly feel like you have stepped back in time.
