Itinerario

1. Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world. It was built early in the 12th century. We will enter the great temple from the little-visited eastern side. We continue our journey on foot and creep through a jungle path to the North ancient library pool. Listen to the explanations of your expert guide, then spend time venturing into the central chambers of the temple, where your local guide will reveal the history, myths and stories depicted on the stone bas-reliefs (the longest stretch of bas-relief carvings in the world) then you will venture deep into the central chambers of this truly great temple. Your knowledgeable guide will ensure that your visit to Angkor Wat leaves you with a rich understanding of the history and purpose of the great temple, and also of the mighty Angkorian civilisation.

2. The jungle-enveloped Ta Prohm (Tomb raider temple)– is one of the most atmospheric of all temples in Angkor. Ta Prohm was built in the 13th century. Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm is in much the same condition in which it was found, the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors. UNESCO inscribed Ta Prohm on the World Heritage List in 1992. Today, it is one of the most visited complexes in Cambodia’s Angkor region. Ta Prohm was a religious temple located in the center of the Ancient Khmer University during the 12th and 13th centuries.

3. The Bayon is a richly decorated Khmer temple at Angkor in Cambodia. Built in the 13th century as the state temple of King Jayavarman VII, the Bayon stands at the centre of Jayavarman's capital. The Bayon's most distinctive feature is the multitude of serene and smiling stone faces on the many towers which jut out from the upper terrace and cluster around its central peak. You'll see its beautifully crafted central towers, covered in more than 200 enormous faces. The temple has two sets of bas-reliefs, which present a combination of mythological, historical and mundane scenes. The outer wall of the outer gallery features a series of bas-reliefs depicting historical events and scenes from the everyday life of the Angkorian Khmer. The inner gallery bas-reliefs depict mythological events.

   1 h

4. The South Gate is one of the five gates of Angkor Thom (the Ancient Capital City of the Khmer Empire). The gate flanked by a row of 54 stone figures on each side was the entrance to the fortified city of Angkor Thom. At the height of its greatness, Angkor Thom had a population of more than one million people and was larger in size than the city of London. It is one of the most popular tourist spots in the Angkor Wat area.

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.
