Tag 20 - Cu Chi Tunnel

Published: 12.02.2023

After a breakfast consisting of iced coffee with condensed milk and an apple turnover, I was picked up for my day trip. This took me to the Cu Chi Tunnels, which are about an hour and a half away.

The tunnels were constructed on three levels
The illuminated area is the Cu Chi region, the red area shows the area of the tunnel systems

The tunnel systems, which are over 250 km long in total, were built and used by Vietnamese independence fighters and the Vietcong from the 1950s to the 1970s.

Guide Long shows us the larger entrances
We are also allowed to descend into one of the smaller tunnels
Traps were also installed
Shoes made from old tires, with imprints pointing in the opposite direction

We were also allowed to crawl through a section of tunnel that was about 120 meters long and a maximum of 1 meter high. Not for people with a fear of enclosed spaces.

Let's go into the long tunnel
