Tour The Mekong DeltaThe Mekong Delta is a region of unique geography and culture. Encompassing 15,000 square miles (almost 4 million hectares) in southeastern Vietnam, the region produces half of Vietnam’s rice. This is more than Korea and Japan together. The Mekong Delta’s rich biodiversity supports a thriving aquaculture industry that provides shrimp, basa fish, and catfish for local consumption and export.
At the same time, much of the Mekong Delta’s culture centers around small river villages, steeped in centuries of tradition and often connected to the world by river instead of roads!
Life flows with the river in the Mekong Delta region. River water floods the rice paddies, local fish and crustaceans form the cuisine and economy. Long shimmering rivers allow travel into and through the dense forests of the region.
