Ben Tre is known especially for its sun-ripened coconuts. On tour, you’ll have a chance to stop by a coconut candy factory, to watch how this sticky, addictive treat is traditionally made and packaged by hand. Elsewhere, you’ll find families converting the rich clay of the Delta into bricks for new homes and buildings. Workers mould the bricks using simple machines and fire them in huge kilns set up on the river banks.
