Itinerario

1. By the time the sunrise watchers have left the scene you will arrive to appreciate the largest religious monument ever built – Angkor Wat. Astonishing in the morning or afternoon light you will be able to photograph the temple from across the lotus pond and then continue to explore the many levels and intricately carved galleries. Your dedicated and knowledgeable guide will provide all the necessary information to bring Angkor times back to life. This is another tick on your “bucket list” and an experience of a lifetime.

2. After that, we go to visit Angkor Thom with rising eight meters high, the laterite wall measures 3x3km and guards many treasures inside, protected by a moat still flooded today. You will enter the ancient city through its South Gate. In the very centre lies the temple of Bayon – silent witnesses of time, the 216 enigmatic faces gaze over the horizon and one can only wonder what they have seen throughout the ages. Your guide will point out the best angles for photography here and give explanation of the many intricate carvings on the walls of the galleries. You will continue to Baphuon with its long causeway and an impressive giant Reclining Buddha, a jigsaw puzzle only put back together in 2011 following a 37 year-long disruption caused by the war. Phimeanakas is hiding in the shaded jungle and offers a decent over-the-tree-tops view to those who conquer the steep steps to the top. Continuing along the Esplanade of the Royal Palace more commonly known as the Terrace of the Elephants.

3. After lunch, we visit Ta Prohm, gained its 21st Century fame from the movie Tomb Raider featuring Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft. Today, with Lara long gone, this temple is on the itinerary of most visitors and rightfully so. Many corners of Ta Prohm showcase an intricate relationship between the roots of Spung tree (Tetrameles Nudiflora) and ancient stones covered in moss. Truly a photographer's paradise, don't miss the opportunity to capture your own explorer's moments.

About Siem Reap

Siem Reap è la cittadina sul fiume accanto ad Angkor, vasto complesso di templi khmer della Cambogia, con mercati notturni e un centro rilassato.

Angkor Wat, spesso definito il più grande monumento religioso del mondo, si innalza sopra il suo fossato in una silhouette di torri a bocciolo di loto che toglie il fiato all'alba. Lì accanto, la città fortificata di Angkor Thom racchiude il Bayon, con i suoi oltre duecento sereni volti di pietra, la Terrazza degli Elefanti e il Baphuon, mentre Ta Prohm è stretto dalle radici di giganteschi alberi del cotone e fichi strangolatori.
