Itinerary description

Walk in the Bach Ma National Park (http://www.protectedplanet.net/sites/Bach_Ma_National_Park), one of the few areas of forest that remain in central Vietnam.

Starting from a restaurant on the road up to the top of Bach Ma, the path we followed goes into the forest, descending first to a small waterfall where you can swim. Then and always along well marked trail, you reach the top of a 300 meters high waterfall, with impresionanes views. In this point start a steep path to arrive at the foot of the waterfall, but we didn´t have enough time to follow it.

Returning a section on our steps, we took another marked trail that ends at the road, a kilometro below where we left the car.

The path is easy most of the way but you must cross several streams that can be difficult outside the dry season or after rains.

-----------------------------------------------

Paseo por el Parque Nacional de Bach Ma (http://www.protectedplanet.net/sites/Bach_Ma_National_Park), una de las pocas zonas de selva que se conservan en el centro de Vietnam.

Partiendo de un restaurante situado en la carretera que sube hasta la cima de Bach Ma, el camino que seguimos se interrna en la selva, descendiendo primero hasta una pequeña catarata en la que es posible bañarse. Posteriormente y siempre por sendero bien marcado, se llega a la cima de una cascada de 300 metros de altura, con impresionanes vistas. Desde este punto parte un pendiente sendero que debe llegar al pié de la cascada, pero nostros no tuvimos tiempo de seguirlo.
Volviendo un tramo sobre nuestros pasos, cogimos otro sendero marcado que finaliza en la carretera, un kilomnetro mas debajo de donde hemos dejado el coche.

El camino es sencillo en todo momento pero se deben cruzar varios arroyos que pueden presentar dificultades fuera de la epoca seca o después de luvias.
