Cu Chi Tunnels


Cu Chi Tunnels are a network that were started in the 1940's & took 20 years to build. They were used during the war for soldiers to hide out. The bottom of the 3 levels is 30 meters underground.


Trap doors & bamboo spears anyone? (photo by CP)

Our Vietnamese guide.















This is the entrance made for visitors who can't possibly go in the tiny 12" Vietnamese enterance :-). This is me going in, where I saw a tiny bat snuggling in for a day's rest. He was about 1' away from me.






















Assending up the stairs.
