Itinerary description

Easy "anthropological" trekking from Sapa. It crosses villages of three different ethnic groups: Lao Chai (H `mong), Ta Van (Dzay) and Giang Ta Chai (Dzao ) and ends at the road up to Sapa. Can be easily done in a day but it´s worth sleeping on a village in the way. We did in day and a half, spending the night in a house in the village of Ta Van. The trail is easy and most of the road is downhill, although quite muddy in some sections (bamboo forest).

------------------------
Sencillo trekking "antropológico" desde Sapa. Atraviesa poblados de tres grupos étnicos diferentes: Lao Chai (H`mong), Ta Van (Dzay) y Giang Ta Chai (Dzao) y termina en la carretera que sube a Sapa. Por distancia se puede hacer fácilmente en un día pero merece la pena dormir en una aldea del camino. Nosotros lo realizamos en día y medio, pernoctando en una casa de la aldea de Ta Van. El sendero es fácil y la mayor parte del camino es cuesta abajo, aunque con bastante barro en algún tramo (bosque de bambu).
