Named one the 10 best underground walks by National Geographic Travel, the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam are an exciting experience for anyone who doesn't mind trolling around tiny enclosed spaces.
This 125-mile network of underground crawl space, located at the end of Ho Chi Mihn Trail, was used during the Vietnam War by the Viet Cong.
Visitors who come here will find a village of sorts, including a kitchen, dormitories, a meeting room and a hospital, according to the news source.
Tours of the site are offered, which begin with a short video depicting a somewhat anti-American point of view of the war. However, "even the young women in black, who work as guides and ground keepers, dismiss the hard language, repeating instead today's Government line: we're all friends," states Seth Mydans, a writer for the New York Times.
Adventure travelers who want to really get into character can dress up in guerrilla uniform garb consisting of black pajamas, jungle helmets, rubber sandals and old rifles, according to the Times.
The best way to experience the Cu Chi Tunnels is with a small group of adventure travelers.
