As U.S. troops fanned out across South Vietnam, American forces found themselves grappling with a unique type of fortification: underground tunnels. These subterranean structures, many extending deep into the earth, allowed Communist troops to shelter, to evade and then to re-emerge and attack areas thought to be secure.

The scenery is gorgeous, but inaccessible to all but the heartiest explorers willing to venture down dirt logging roads or hike up...
