Mr. Nguyen Van Tung (the discoverer of the Cua Tu stream trekking route) said: “To explore 7 waterfall gates with 11km of forest road, there is only one road, so the locals here named this stream Cua Tu. Because it is a natural stream, the water flow is also erratic and seasonal. The difficulty of entering the waterfall gates will increase gradually from gate 1 to gate 7, so you need to have an experienced local guide to ensure safety throughout the trip.”

Depending on age and health, each person can choose their own itinerary to explore Cua Tu stream. Mr. Dinh Huynh (manager of Hoang Nong Farm) shared: “We always want to develop local tourism combined with resort exploration, helping to develop the economy for local people. Currently, we have 3 itineraries including: hiking (similar to trekking) for families with children, office guests participating in mountain climbing for the first time; trekking 1 day 1 night, trekking 2 days 2 nights, trekking 3 days 2 nights”. For those who are experiencing the Cua Tu stream for the first time, Mr. Huynh advised: “At gate 1, the flow will be gentle, but the deeper you go, the faster the water will flow, there are many waterfalls that are deep over people's heads and slippery rocks covered with green moss that will be extremely dangerous. Gate 2,3 has rugged mountain terrain, if you are not a local, it is very easy to get lost. The route from gate 4 to gate 7 is only for those with many years of trekking experience and must be accompanied by a tour guide to be able to explore.” Hoang Nong Farm a peaceful morning.

The first time she set foot in Cua Tu stream, Ms. Ngo Thi Thanh Huyen (24 years old, from Quang Binh) felt: “Every step to each waterfall is an interesting experience, attracted by the silence and mystery of the mountains and forests. I feel the harmony of sounds and images in this space. Exploring the dense forest paths and passing through gate 2, I feel like I am immersed in the perfect combination of silence and vitality of nature”.

“Seeing the rocks shaped by time and water with my own eyes, I felt the invisible power of nature. The strange shapes of the rocks, winding and twisting, create an unbelievable wonder. They are unique, creative and captivating works of natural art,” Ms. Huyen emphasized.

Coming to Cua Tu, you will hear the murmuring sound of the stream, the rustling sound of the trees and the chirping of birds from afar, suddenly becoming small before the wildness and majesty of the great forest. Sua Cua Tu is a truly wonderful destination for you to separate yourself from the noisy space, dust, and urban life.
