Roll past friendly villagers, rice paddies, and cruise up the Perfume River. Feel the rush of our favourite city, Hoi An, and top it all off with the mind-blowing Vietnamese cuisine at Mango Mango.

Check it all off the list: visits to ancestral tombs, sightings of water buffalo, friendly local encounters, mind-boggling jungle scenery—oh, just your average, everyday scavenger hunt.

Head toward the stunning ruins of the Cham civilization in central Vietnam; this is where (your) edification and enchantment truly meet.
