Luggage storage near Mat Pet Farm

Mat Pet Farm sits at the southern edge of Sa Pa town, where the streets stop climbing and the valley opens out below, and this spot is a couple of minutes from its gate. The farm is what people here do once they have had enough of walking: alpacas and capybaras, and the Hoang Lien range behind them. It is also the direction you set off for Cat Cat, the village down the stone path under the town, which is a steep hour down and a steeper hour back up. Neither is a thing you do holding a suitcase, and Sa Pa rooms are given up long before the ride out of the mountains. Leave the bag at the top of the hill, take the valley, and pick it up on your way through.
