The Mekong Delta formed from sediment deposited over centuries; by the 18th–19th centuries it became southern Vietnam’s agricultural heartland and a hub for river-based village economies.
The delta faces erosion, salinity intrusion and plastic pollution; choose operators that support local communities and avoid single-use plastics when possible.
