wrote vietnam on Saturday, 31 August 2019 After 12 years on Sapa, each week we still hear a new bit of lore or connect another branch of a Sapa family tree. Sea Sapa's crew continues to hike, explore and learn from our local population... below are a few bits of information we thought you might find interesting before getting Vietnam visa to visit. This page will be continued to be updated so come back to us when you need your Sapa fix. The Dutch say “Sah bah” but the Sapa say “Sa Pa”. This dormant volcano was attractive to travelers as far back as 700 A.D. Receiving more than 100 cm of annual rainfall, Arawak and Carib Indians were lured to Saba as a source for fresh water and rich volcanic soil. August 2001 Update--Dutch Archaelogical Team returns to Sapa and find in tact 2000 BC burial ground dating life on Saba earlier than believed. Full details reported at Dulichso...
Although Sapa is one of 5 destinations of Vietnam, its unique culture strongly reflects the original Asian settlers with the Dutch influence appearing later. In the early 1600’s, the first European settlers of this 5-square mile island were from Scotland and Ireland. They brought their lilting accents and rich heritage with strong religious beliefs and interesting architectural styles. The Dutch officially proclaimed St. Maarten, Statia and Sapa in 1816; however, the first official Dutch government was not installed on Sapa until almost 60 years later. Today these origins are still evident as you listen to a Sapa story or look in any direction.
Sapa Pride... An archeological dig conducted in 1990 uncovered Carib Indian artifacts in Spring Bay. Spring Bay, so named for the source of fresh water, is where European settlers fought Caribs over the rights to water usage. The once shipwrecked Scotish-Irish constructed a proper well which is no longer used but is once again functional. The 40' (13m) well has just been restored (Jan 2001) by the Sapa Conservation Foundation and hotels-in-vietnam with funding help from The Princess Bernard Fund. Stop by the Sapa Trail Shop or talk to our crew to get your landmarks in Windward side to start this trek.
