Here you will be exploring the tropical rainforest of Cat Tien and boating on the DONG NAI River to visit the S'TIENG and CHAUMA aboriginal villages. Nice and cool, we hope to welcome you. Everyone here will enjoy the tranquility and comfort of our fruit garden, all the food cooked by the people in the village, the rare animals you will see when you come here.
I love nature, love animals and will try to keep the forest green forever
Is a tropical forest, all year round always cool and beautiful, people are very enthusiastic and hospitable
