Con Dao Map- Vietnam

""The first ride on Con Dao by scooter today already gave a very positive impression of the island with its wild coast, beautiful beaches and mountainous interior, and an encounter with two macaques.
The Con Dao archipelago has not yet been discovered by mass tourism. The archipelago is also difficult to reach. Only one propeller plane with a total of 68 passengers on board can land here. Or via a 12-hour boat trip on board a freighter. A paradise, a gem with a gruesome history. But that is something for the coming days. Now first celebrate the Chinese New Year! Chuc mung nam moi!’"

Few tourists know how to find Con Dao. - In the Netherlands there are few providers and that makes Con Dao a real gem to relax for a few days.
Don't expect nightlife. A beer after dinner on a small stool with the locals is what you can expect.
The only village on the island, Con Son has only 5000 inhabitants. The Con Dao archipelago has sixteen islands, most of which are no more than a number of rocky outcrops.
