Mekong delta is located in the South of Vietnam. This region is highly recommended for adventure travellers especially for homestay and exoticism. Quite different from homestay in other regions, a stay in a local house in the Mekong delta is more rustic. Everything seems to be simple but what you really get from it is the diversity of the local culture, atmosphere, scenery and unique hospitality.
