Cu Chi Tunnels Tours & Day Trips

The History Behind the Cu Chi Tunnels

First dug during the First Indochina War and expanded during the Vietnam War, the Cu Chi Tunnels formed an extensive network of underground passages, shelters, kitchens, and meeting spaces. The tunnels reveal how local communities adapted to life under wartime conditions.

Today, visitors can explore two main historical sites, Ben Dinh and Ben Duoc, where concealed entrances, wartime exhibits, and selected tunnel sections offer a closer look at the past. Some passages are narrow and enclosed, but above-ground displays also provide insight into Cu Chi's remarkable history.
