Ta Cu Mountain is located in Thuan Nam town, Ham Thuan Nam district, Binh Thuan province. The mountain is conveniently situated right along National Highway 1A, making it easily accessible. It is only about 28 km from the center of Phan Thiet city. Ta Cu Mountain stands at 649 meters tall and was once an active volcano. Today, it is a national nature reserve with a rich diversity of flora and fauna, including many species listed in the Red Book.

The rainy season in Binh Thuan lasts from May to October each year. During this time, frequent rain can disrupt visitors' travel plans. Traveling to Ta Cu Mountain on a rainy day can also be inconvenient and unsafe.

The busiest time for tourism at Ta Cu Mountain is during the spring season. During this time, people have more free time, and making a pilgrimage to worship Buddha at the beginning of the year is a traditional practice in our country. Visiting during this period, you will witness the vibrant blooming of golden apricots and red silk-cotton trees across the mountains. Cool streams flowing from rock crevices create a peaceful natural landscape.
