DMZ

The Korean Demilitarized Zone offers a haunting glimpse into one of the world's last Cold War frontiers, where visitors can peer into North Korea from observation posts and explore the underground infiltration tunnels. This heavily fortified 2.5-mile-wide buffer zone has become an unexpected wildlife sanctuary, creating a surreal contrast between military tension and natural beauty. Tours provide access to the Joint Security Area at Panmunjom, where historic peace talks have taken place just steps from the most heavily armed border on Earth.
