What to Expect
Head to the central highlands of the country, to the capital of Lam Dong province. The journey will take about 3 hours, so we will stop at waterfalls and enjoy mountain landscapes. During this time, you will discover the customs of Vietnam and the coffee culture here. Learn about what Dalat lives on and why it is considered the center of Vietnamese science.
In Dalat, you will find:
The Crazy House Hotel-Museum (also known as Hang Nga) - an author's project that has become a signature of Dalat. You will walk through the whimsical mazes of the tree-building, constructed from concrete without right angles. Examine the art complex in detail - lianas, cobweb, mosaics, and even elements from Russian folklore (the architect, Mrs. Dang Viet Nga, studied in Moscow).
The Clay Village - an amusement park with numerous clay buildings and sculptures amidst the hills. Here you will feel like Lilliputians, see clay copies of Dalat's landmarks, and admire the Endless Lake.
Coffee plantations and coffee workshop. Before you will appear hills with coffee bushes: you will see how it grows, and then observe the process of grain processing and drink preparation. Of course, you will taste one of the most delicious coffees in the world!
Datanla Waterfall - the most beautiful three-tier waterfall in the vicinity of Dalat. You can descend to it from the mountain on special electric sleds on rails laid through the jungle.
