Ride through Cho Lach and Cai Mon, stopping for lunch en route before reaching Vinh Long. From here, continue by road to Can Tho, arriving mid-afternoon to check in at your homestay. Today’s cycling distance totals approximately 40 kilometers. In the evening, enjoy dinner with your host family and take advantage of free time to explore the vibrant atmosphere of Can Tho, the heart of the Mekong Delta.

After breakfast, say farewell to your host family and board a local boat at 08:30 to visit the vibrant Cai Rang floating market, one of the Mekong Delta’s most iconic sights. Cruise through quiet, winding waterways that weave between lush islands, offering a glimpse into the region’s daily life.
