Remember when going down the tunnels of Cu Chi
Most underground tunnels of Cu Chi are small, dark and low. In many sections, tourists will have to crawl and move. While it can be thrilling, some people may suffer from backache because they have to bend over so much. The pain will be worth it, I can assure you, but you still better prepare for what’s about to come.
The tunnels of Cu Chi may be hard to explore
If you have trouble breathing, or afraid of small spaces, you should consider going down the tunnels in Cu Chi. Of course, the management team of the Cu Chi Tunnels area only allows tourists to visit the safe and clean tunnels. You won’t have any problems going down the tunnels, but there are certain symptoms and phobia that may need to pay attention to.
Cu Chi Tunnels have a diverse system of doors, open spaces, extremely intelligent and interlaced traps. The roads lead to the tunnels are cleverly disguised and the door is small so one will have a hard time observing from the outside. In the old hard times of the war, all the Vietnamese soldiers were thin, so they came in and out quickly, while the big American soldiers could not bring themselves to the basement.
Consider your health condition before deciding to go
However, going down the tunnels of Cu Chi is sure will be an interesting and unforgettable experience. What can be a better way to learn about Vietnamese history, right?

Excellent experience
It was an experience, that you will never forget, how it would have been during the war, with no light, food and much air and space. If you are able it is definitely worth going in the tunnel. It is not very long and a little bit of light and air. We will come back Cu Chi Tunnels again
