Hello, I'm Belén.

I'll show you the Vietnam I carry inside: its temples, its tables and its people, at your pace and in your language.

My story

My name is Thảo. My travellers call me Belén.

I was born in Vinh, in Nghệ An province. I fell in love with Spanish at university, and for five years I have been guiding families, couples and friends from Spain and Latin America through my country.

For me, guiding means caring: that you eat well, rest well, understand what you see and feel at home, even on the other side of the world.

What Vietnam tells me

The đàn bầu, Vietnam's one-string instrument

Đàn Bầu, the instrument with a voice of its own

One string, a bamboo body and a sound that seems to sing. The story of Vietnam's most beloved instrument.

Rice terraces in the mountains of Sapa

The H’mong way of life in Sapa

High in the misty mountains of the north, traditions that have stood the test of time.
