Located in Ba Thuoc District, Thanh Hoa Province, 160 km from Hanoi, Pu Luong Reserve offers scenic landscapes with rice paddies, authentic villages and lush vegetation. Ideal for nature lovers, it is famous for its biodiversity and the hospitality of its inhabitants. This site isn’t touristy and has kept its authenticity. Pu Luong is a very good example of sustainable tourism development: the benefits flow to the villagers, allowing them to improve their income and thus to put an end to the exploitation of the forest.
