Conquering Pu To Co – A Historic Imprint amid great forests of Muong Phang
At an altitude of around 1,700 meters, Pu To Co – the highest peak of the Muong Phang mountain range – unveils a pristine, majestic landscape imbued with historical memories. Starting from the former advance guard station of the Dien Bien Phu Campaign Headquarters, the nearly 9-km forest trekking route is not only a physical challenge but also a meaningful journey to fully experience the cultural and historical depth of the site that once housed the campaign’s observation post.
