Cuc Phuong National Park

Cuc Phuong National Park, natural jewel of North Vietnam

Vietnam’s first national park, founded in 1962, Cuc Phuong National Park is a true sanctuary of nature and biodiversity.
Located about 120 km south of Hanoi and near Tam Coc, it extends over more than 22,000 hectares of primary tropical forests, home to an exceptional wealth of fauna and flora.

Cuc Phuong is a place apart, where you can feel the quiet power of nature: ancient trees reach up to the sky, the songs of birds resound in the canopy, and the paths wind between rivers, caves and green valleys.

This park, considered as one of the green lungs of Vietnam, is also a major center for the preservation of endangered species.
There is the famous primate and turtle rescue center, where local teams work every day to rehabilitate animals before their return to the wild life.

But Cuc Phuong is not only a natural space: it is also a place full of human history.
The discovery of the Nguoi Xua cave, or “cave of ancient man”, attests to the presence of the first inhabitants of the Red River delta more than 7,000 years ago.

Visiting Cuc Phuong National Park is to live a sensory and educational experience, between hiking, exploration and respect for nature.
Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, you will dive into a lush universe, perfect for nature lovers, photographers and travelers curious to better understand the Vietnamese ecosystem.

Nestled between the provinces of Ninh Binh, Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa, Cuc Phuong National Park is much more than just a tropical forest: it is a haven of wildlife and a mecca for nature conservation in Vietnam.
For travelers curious about nature, history and human encounters, a visit to this park is an essential step.

A unique biodiversity

Cuc Phuong is home to more than 2,000 species of plants, 120 species of mammals, 300 species of birds and hundreds of multicolored butterflies that light up the trails in spring.
This rare diversity makes the park a true open-air natural laboratory for biologists, but also a paradise for photographers and nature lovers.

At the bend of a trail, it is not uncommon to see golden-headed monkeys, flying squirrels or even the discreet langur of Delacour, an endemic and protected species of North Vietnam.

A preserved primary tropical forest

Cuc Phuong National Park is one of the last primary rainforests in Vietnam.
Its millenary trees, some of which reach more than 50 meters high, form a dense and majestic canopy, offering a welcome freshness during hikes.

The well-maintained trails allow access to emblematic points such as the millennial tree, the Crocodile cave or the botanical center, which presents the richness of the local flora.
Walking here is immersing yourself in a timeless plant world, where nature reigns supreme.

15-day trip to Thailand off the beaten path

Thailand 15 days: travel off the beaten track

Traveling 15 days in Thailand is to enter a world where every landscape, every perfume, every encounter seems to open a door towards the essential. Here, the light has a particular softness: it caresses the golden roofs of the temples, is reflected in the endless rice fields, slides on the turquoise waters of the South and envelops the mountains of the North with an almost mystical veil.
Thailand is discovered like a murmur, an invitation to slow down, to observe, to feel.

Off the beaten track, the country reveals all its depth. Bangkok reveals its fascinating energy, a mix of millennial traditions and contemporary daring. Then come the sacred cities where the traces of ancient kingdoms still float, the villages of minorities that perpetuate a precious craft, the lively markets where perfumes of herbs, flowers and spices mix. On the northern paths, the mountains breathe serenity, while the forests are home to communities for whom time seems to flow at the rhythm of nature.

Further south, the sea takes over: translucent lagoons, beaches lined with palm trees, secret islets accessible only by boat… The journey is then more contemplative, like a luminous interlude between snorkeling, sea walks and tropical sweetness.

Over these fifteen days, Thailand becomes a profoundly human and sensory experience: simple gestures shared during a cooking class, a Buddhist ritual at sunrise, a smile offered around an alley, a meal at home, a silent boat sliding along the channels.
This stay is an open-heart discovery, an itinerary designed for those looking to meet a country rather than simply cross it.

An authentic, vibrant, harmonious journey that reveals Thailand as we feel it, as we live it, as we never forget it.
