Circular walk from Sapa through the Hmong village of Cat Cat and Tien Sa waterfall. From Sapa the track go down to the bottom of the valley where the village and the waterfall are located. Much of the path runs between Hmong craft shops.

Once in the village, the climb back is by a road with little traffic.

    Se debería advertir que había que pagar por entrar. Por lo demás, correcto

    Paseo por un montaje de seudopueblo étnico (de poco o ningún interés), y con entrada de pago... (por desgracia, por lo que parece, sin alternativas en Sapa)

    Clear route on road down to Cat Cat...but
    (1) the road is super busy, very muddy, construction sites everywhere, and
    (2) they charge 150k V$ (€7) to enter the tourist trap of Cat Cat village. Better alternative villages nearby.
    Nice valley views, but wouldn't recommend anyone bother with this.
