General information about Trem Eco-Tourism Area
Trem River Eco-Tourism Area, located in Hamlet 17, U Minh District, Ca Mau Province. From Ca Mau City, visitors drive about 50 km towards Xuyen A Highway to Bien Bach Commune, turn left over Trem Bridge and from here, visitors travel about 5 km more to reach Trem River Eco-Tourism Area.
The Trem River (also known as the Tram Trem River) is a 36 km long tributary of the Ong Doc River, with its source being the Cai Lon River through the Chac Bang Canal. The Trem River divides the U Minh Forest into two regions: the upper and lower regions. The Lower U Minh belongs to Ca Mau Province, the Upper U Minh belongs to An Giang Province.
The Trem River meanders like a silk strip in the middle of the U Minh Forest. The Trem River has an average depth of 3 – 4m, a width of 80 to 10m, and its water color changes with the seasons. Especially in the rainy season, the river water is dark brown from the water of the Melaleuca forest flowing out from the canals. In the Trem River basin, there is an eco-tourism area typical of the U Minh Melaleuca forest. With a quiet natural landscape, surrounded by green cajuput trees, it is an ideal tourist destination in Ca Mau for you to relax and rest.
