While planning my three-week trip through Vietnam, my research led me to Phong Nha National Park. This area includes two of the largest limestone regions in the world and is located about 500 kilometers south of Hanoi, in north-central Vietnam. The park features hundreds of caves and was designated a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site in 2003.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Jungle…<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What really sparked my curiosity was the fact that, in April 2009, British researchers discovered twenty new caves in this park, with a total length of 56 kilometers \u2014 including what they claim to be the largest cave in the world: the Son Doong Cave<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When you come across something like that while planning a trip, there\u2019s really no time for hesitation \u2014 at least not for me. I knew instantly: I had to explore this part of Vietnam. Through the agency Oxalis<\/strong>, I found the perfect adventure for me \u2014 a tour called: Wild Tu Lan Cave Explorer<\/em>.<\/p>\n
