International guests delighted by traditional Hoi An experiences at Caman Village

Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Hoi An, Caman Village is a unique organic garden where visitors can immerse themselves in Vietnam’s traditional agriculture and cultural heritage. More than just a place for growing vegetables, herbs, and fruit trees, Caman Village offers moments of connection with nature, lessons in sustainable living, and a chance to experience authentic local cuisine.

For international guests, a visit to Caman Village goes far beyond simple sightseeing. It’s an opportunity to slow down, engage with local culture, enjoy the taste of freshly harvested produce, and connect with the friendly people of Hoi An. That’s why this charming village has become a favorite destination among families, couples and groups of friends from around the world eager to explore and experience the true spirit of Vietnam.

Hands-on farming and natural harvesting

At Caman Village, guests can take part in harvesting fresh vegetables and herbs – a relaxing and nature-connected activity. With guidance from the local team, visitors learn traditional Vietnamese farming methods and techniques for planting and caring for crops.

Caman Cooking class & Culinary culture

After harvesting vegetables and herbs from the garden, guests join a traditional Vietnamese cooking class, where local chefs guide them through the preparation of signature dishes. One of the highlights is making “mi la” (Vietnamese rice sheets) – a distinctive culinary technique that guests can try themselves using freshly picked ingredients.

The class is always lively and friendly, filled with laughter as everyone tastes, experiments, and shares the joy of cooking together. At the end of the session, participants gather to enjoy their homemade dishes in a warm and natural setting – a delightful and unforgettable culinary experience.

As the day winds down, guests can relax with a cup of herbal tea and handmade sweet preserves, all crafted from ingredients grown in the garden. It’s the perfect way to unwind after an engaging day, embracing tranquility, nature, and the cultural heart of Hoi An.
