Vietnam’s coffee capital, with Ê Đê and M’nông villages on the shores of Lắk Lake and the Dray Nur waterfall, more than 30 metres high.
ABOUT
Buôn Ma Thuột is the gateway to the Central Highlands: it has an airport and is the starting point of many journeys. The city smells of roasting coffee, with the World Coffee Museum and garden cafés.
50 km from the city, Lắk Lake and Buôn Jun are where the M’nông people live by fishing and farming. Chi Bu Trip does not offer elephant rides.
