The Cu Chi Tunnels are located in Cu Chi District, about 70 kilometers northwest of Ho Chi Minh City’s center. The underground network is well-preserved at two main sites: the Ben Dinh Tunnels in Ben Dinh Hamlet and the Ben Duoc Tunnels in Phu Hiep Hamlet.
Although it's a bit distant from the bustling city, this suburban area is worth a visit for its various attractions, including fresh fruit gardens, Cu Chi Water Park, and Fosaco eco-village, in addition to the tunnel networks.
Weather is also an important consideration for your trip. Due to its tropical climate, Cu Chi experiences two distinct seasons: the rainy season from May to October and the dry season from November to April, which is the ideal time to explore the Cu Chi Tunnels.
