The Treasures of the Khmer Empire

Dominated by the majestic River Mekong, Cambodia is a country in Asia that surprises with its authenticity, traditions, people, history, and cultural heritage. A trip to Cambodia is an unmissable discovery of the very famous Temples of Angkor Wat registered as UNESCO World Heritage sites for these admirable remains of the capital of the Khmer Empire, which flourished between the 9th and 15th centuries. You will also be fascinated by the sumptuous Cambodian landscapes of rice paddies, lush jungle and majestic rivers, and by the French-style architecture of its capital. Phnom Penh.
