Destinations in Plateau

The plateau is a region of basaltic soil in 6 00 m altitude on average.
This region shares a border with the Center in the north, the Mekong Delta in the south, with Laos and Cambodia in the west and the Orient Sea in the east.
It is the cradle of industrial trees: Coffee, rubber, pepper, cotton ... and Polynesian ethnic minorities: Ede, Mnong, Banar… preserving so well their millennium traditions.
