Your experience

Shadows of conflict, glimmers of unity

Guide? Set. Round-trip transfers? Also, set.

Begin at Imjingak Park, where the weight of the past is palpable. Witness the Freedom Bridge, its bullet-scarred surface a testament to the courageous prisoners of war who crossed it to liberty in 1953.

Descend 73 meters into the depths of the Third Infiltration Tunnel, a 1.6 km long secret passage discovered in 1978. This subterranean marvel serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions that divide the Korean peninsula.

What's that Dora?

At the Dora Observatory, powerful telescopes await, offering a glimpse into the surreal world of Kijong-dong, North Korea's "Propaganda Village." Spot the towering 160-meter flagpole and the meticulously crafted facades that conceal empty buildings.

Finally, visit the Unification Village, a unique farming community thriving within the DMZ. Here, you can acquire fascinating mementos like North Korean liquor and DMZ-themed souvenirs, knowing that your purchases support a noble cause – the education of North Korean defectors.
