Phong Nha is a beautiful area in central Vietnam that is known for its many caves, including the world’s largest natural cave in the world! We went on the 4 day Wild Tu Lan tour with Oxalis Adventure and it was the BEST 4 days filled with stunning caves, amazing campsites, swimming in the dark, squeezing through tight spaces, delicious food, soaking wet clothes, tons of laughter, new friends, and learning about the local culture, before ending at a gorgeous lodge.
