Today I want to give you a gift by giving you a "secret" enclave, one of those islands that your cruise may have passed close by, but which is not on the circuits. If you have the opportunity to travel to Vietnam, do not refuse a boat trip to the island Phu Quoc island about 50 minutes from Ho Chi Minh, a teardrop-shaped island measuring about 1.300 square kilometers
Phu Quoc is one of the largest and most spectacular Vietnamese islands for its beauty of landscapes, for something it is known as the emerald island.
The first thing that will seem to you is that this island is deserted, but no, there are inhabitants in Phu Quoc who mainly live from fishing, agriculture and increasingly in the tourism sector, since This hitherto secret destination is becoming popular and more and more restaurants and hotels are emerging.
Regarding gastronomy, its waters abound with seafood and fish cooked in a special way such as Ham Ninh crab flower, sea cucumber, sea skewers, Tet Cat Phu Quoc cake, Phu Quoc pancakes, Phu Quoc Mushroom Train, fish cooked with mango stew, without forgetting the typical dish for breakfast: noodles with shrimp and squid.
More than half of the island's surface is a natural park, protected, but not isolated, as there are many trails through which to enter virgin forests full of ancient trees, with a fauna, especially in relation to birds, and spectacular flora. Although the really most spectacular is watch the sunsets from any of its sandy beaches, whether it is at full tide or at low sea.
If you are feeling like asking for a budget and traveling to Phu Quoc now that winter is coming in the Northern Hemisphere, there are still sun and high temperatures there. Don't even think about going in the monsoon season in July and August.
