1/21.- Sapa, Welcome to Sapa!

Hello. Welcome to my Sapa online presentation. Sapa is a town on the Hills 250 miles northwest from Hanoi (390 km). Lately it has become very popular among foreign tourists because of its saturday market. On this day traditional people who live in the surroundings used to go to the market to interchange their goods. Tribe people still go to the saturday market, but now they come to try to sell something to the visiting foreigner.

Although some guides say tourism has developed so fast in the region that the town of Sapa has lost part of its interest, I disagree. I really enjoyed my stay in Sapa, and I do recommend visiting it. Especially if you like trekkings. The mountainous region of Sapa is the perfect destinations for hiking.

If you want to see some of the traditional people who live in the area, want to know which excursions one can do from here, and want to see some nice pictures of the landscapes in the region, stay with me. I will try to show you all that on the following pages.

[Let's go ...]

In case this is your first tour with me, let me introduce myself: my name is Enric, and my intention is to go to the most beautiful places on earth and put photos of them on this web site.
