Cambodia is a country with striking, rich and contrasting landscapes. Its flora and fauna have made it a picturesque place. The Mekong River, the “sea of water”, has irrigated the country and spawned magnificent plantations, rice paddies and plantation forests of bamboo, palm, banana and rubber trees covering the Cardamom and elephant to the delight of our eyes. Let yourself be transported to this fascinating universe of Southeast Asia.
Remnants of the past are still present in Cambodia. We challenge you not to succumb to the charm of the temples of Angkor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Bayon (the temple with 200 faces), and Ta Phrom, an ancient monastery that hosted the filming of the film Tomb Raider in the north of the country. It is in the calm and relaxing city of Siem Reap that you can stay before discovering the temples.
Therefor, to better understand Cambodian history, do not miss the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a real must in Phnom Penh, the capital. After exhausting days of walking, you will have the opportunity to reach the coast and its heavenly beaches or the lively town of Sihanoukville, a seaside resort renowned for its trendy bars and nightlife.
