Alternatively, you can simply hop on a motorcycle with a local and ride through the small villages. This is also great fun in the rain, as it has a very special charm!
The Tra Su Indigo Forest: This flooded forest landscape offers a magical boat trip, accompanied by birdsong and the gentle splashing of oars. Here you will find untouched nature and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s incredible how calming the green of the trees is. Truly magnificent!
