They were part of a group of eight tourists and two tour guides in an adventure tour of Hang Cop (Tiger’s Cave) waterfall, which is about 50m in length with tough and dangerous terrain, provided by Giac Mo Vang company in Da Lat city.

Right after learning the information, the provincial rescue force reached the site to conduct search activities for the victims who were found in the afternoon the same day, according to the department.

Authorities are working to identify the cause of the accident.
