About this activity

Live a moving experience that contrasts the past of the Civil War with today’s peace. In Cinquera, we will explore the Ecological Forest, former guerrilla stronghold. Guided by local protagonists of the conflict (1980 - 1992), you will discover trenches, rebuilt camps and the famous 'Vietnamese Cuisine' under the jungle.

Living Testimony: Authentic oral history narrated by locals who lived through the conflict.

Historical Hiking : Hike in tropical forest to see vestiges of war.

Colonial Charm: Visit to the historic center of Suchitoto.
