Leaving Sa Pa early Tuesday morning or picked up in Lao Cai arriving with the train
from Hanoi, we drive with land cruiser to Coc Ly Market. The drive from SaPa will
take us approx. 2 1/2 hour. We visit the market with all it's colourful ethnic people
such as Flower Hmong, Phu La and Dao Tuyen who gathers to buy and sell.
Before lunch we go on a short trek to the nearby village of Sa Koun Ho which is
inhabited by the Flower Hmong and Black Dao minority.
We enjoy lunch in a local restaurant before we leave Coc Ly and drive to Trung Do
village - inhabited by Tay minority. From the village we go by boat down the river,
where we experience the magnificent sight of the beautiful caves and bustling life
on the riverbank. The boat trip takes us about 2-2 1/2 hours before we are picked
up by our jeep. The jeep takes us back to Sa Pa or to Lao Cai train station depending
of your wishes.
