A maze of rivers, canals, rice fields and orchards where the Mekong reaches the sea. From Cần Thơ, take a boat at dawn to the Cái Răng floating market, where traders sell fruit and vegetables from boats, and cycle through villages.


Stay in a homestay among fruit gardens. Day trips from Ho Chi Minh City are rushed; 2 days is better.
