Itinerario

1. The archaeological site of Koh Ker is a sacred urban ensemble of numerous temples and sanctuaries including sculptures, inscriptions, wall paintings, and archaeological remains. Constructed over a twenty-three-year period, it was one of two rival Khmer Empire capitals – the other being Angkor – and was the sole capital from 928 to 944 CE. Established by King Jayavarman IV, his sacred city was believed to be laid out on the basis of ancient Indian religious concepts of the universe. The new city demonstrated unconventional city planning, artistic expression and construction technology, especially the use of very large monolithic stone blocks.

About Siem Reap

Siem Reap es la ciudad ribereña junto a Angkor, el vasto complejo de templos jemeres de Camboya, con mercados nocturnos y un centro relajado.

Angkor Wat, a menudo llamado el mayor monumento religioso del mundo, se alza sobre su foso en una silueta de torres en forma de capullo de loto que quita el aliento al amanecer. Cerca, la ciudad amurallada de Angkor Thom alberga el Bayon, con sus más de doscientos serenos rostros de piedra, la Terraza de los Elefantes y el Baphuon, mientras que Ta Prohm está atenazado por las raíces de gigantescos ceibas e higueras estranguladoras.
