Continue to the Endangered Primate Rescue Center (EPRC), the first facility of its kind in Indochina. Here, you will learn about ongoing efforts to protect and rehabilitate some of the world’s rarest primate species, many of which have been rescued from illegal wildlife trade.
Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant within the park headquarters area before continuing your exploration.
In the afternoon, visit the fascinating Prehistoric Man Cave, an important archaeological site where human skeletons and stone tools dating back approximately 7,500 years have been discovered—offering a unique glimpse into early human history in Vietnam.
After the visit, transfer to the park center for check-in at the guesthouse. Enjoy dinner in a peaceful natural setting before settling in for a quiet overnight stay inside the national park.
Day 2: Ancient Forest Trek – Muong Village Experience (Breakfast / Lunch / Dinner)
Wake up surrounded by the calming sounds of the rainforest and enjoy breakfast before beginning a full-day adventure deep into the forest.
Set out on a scenic trek through Cuc Phuong National Park, visiting ancient trees and traversing limestone terrain, dense jungle paths, and rocky slopes that reveal breathtaking natural landscapes along the way.
Continue your journey toward a remote Muong ethnic village (Khanh Village). Upon arrival, you will be warmly welcomed by local families and enjoy a traditional home-cooked lunch.
In the evening, experience authentic village life with a freshly prepared dinner and, upon request, a traditional Muong music performance inside a stilt house. Spend the night in a traditional wooden stilt home, surrounded by peaceful rural nature.
Day 3: Village Life & Cultural Immersion (Breakfast)
Wake up to the natural rhythm of village life—roosters crowing, buffalo moving through the fields, and the gentle morning atmosphere of the Muong community.
