At the mountains of northern Vietnam, near the border with China, we find Sa Pa. A small city set in the mountains, about 1500 meters above sea level. Here is one of the main markets in the area, therefore many people from all the surrounding villages come here, to buy and sell their products.
The colorful tribal dresses and the hiking and trekking that can be done in the area, attract many travelers. To us, those mountain landscapes, reminded us a bit to Austria.

All tourist accommodations and travel agencies try to sell trekkings around the area, but the people of the tribes also offer to guide you and stay at their home. So we found this last option more interesting and we opted for a trekking to a village of the H'Mong tribe.
