We’ll stop at Datanla Waterfall, with options to walk in or drive down on a mini rollercoaster.
2) FREE DAY: DA LAT: Da Lat vaguely resembles a French town with old villas and towering pine trees. It is off the main tourist trail so locals are very friendly. Enjoy a half day cycle tour visiting a coffee plantation and waterfall.
