IMJINGAK PARK

This tour takes you deep into the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a buffer zone separating North and South Korea, for a look at history frozen in time. Echoes of War and Whispers of Hope Your first stop is Imjingak Park, a place where the weight of history hangs heavy. Here, you'll see the bullet-scarred Freedom Bridge, a poignant reminder of the 1000s of prisoners of war who walked to freedom across its span in 1953.
