Pocheon Day Trip
Description
Embark on an enriching day trip to Pocheon from Seoul, where we will immerse ourselves in the striking volcanic formations of the Hantangang UNESCO Global Geopark, meander through the vibrant Herb Island, and explore the remarkable landscape of Art Valley.
Details of the Day Trip
Upon arriving at your chosen meeting point in Seoul at the specified hour, we’ll commence our day trip to Pocheon. Are you prepared to uncover the wonders of Korean nature?
Our adventure begins at the Hantangang UNESCO Global Geopark. Amidst this extraordinary volcanic terrain, we'll traverse the famous Y-shaped suspension bridge, offering breathtaking vistas of the basalt cliffs below. We’ll also cross the Sky Bridge and embark on a brief hike to uncover the Bidulginang Waterfall, a whimsical treasure nestled within a gorge, reminiscent of a fairy tale.
Following this, we will visit Pocheon Herb Island, a charming theme park inspired by European designs. Here, the renowned Pink Sand Zone awaits, providing a picturesque backdrop for unforgettable photographs. You will have some leisurely time to wander through the fragrant gardens and enjoy lunch at your own expense while savoring the lovely atmosphere.
Our journey will culminate at the notable Art Valley. This site, once a granite quarry, has undergone a remarkable ecological restoration. Presently, it features a cultural park centered around a serene lake embraced by towering cliffs. To enhance your visit, we’ll board the monorail, allowing us to explore the area comfortably while soaking in the stunning scenery.
As the day concludes, we will return to Seoul, with the estimated drop-off times being between 6 pm and 6:50 pm, contingent upon the selected meeting point.
