In the afternoon, we trek along the western slope of the valley until we reach the village of Xafo. We will stay here overnight in a beautiful bamboo stilt house, socializing with the inhabitants. There are only about 300-400 members of the Xafo minority, making it one of the smallest minority communities in Vietnam…and also one of the most distinct and interesting!

In the early afternoon, we cross a pass to another valley where we will stay overnight in bamboo huts in the Red Dao village of Sin Chai. Our dinner is prepared and spent in a local house. There are three generations living in the house and everyone is very welcoming and eager to talk to you – obviously with a helping hand from the guide! It is also worth noting that the grandfather is well reputed for his homemade rice wine and is more than happy to share a glass with his visitors!  Approx: 6 hours trekking/ 1 hour lunch.
