Siem Reap

Siem Reap extends along tree-lined boulevards with French colonial architecture, traditional markets, and modern hotels near the Angkor Archaeological Park.

The city transformed from a small village into a major urban center after French explorers rediscovered the Angkor temples in the late 19th century.

The Artisans Angkor workshops maintain traditional Khmer crafts through extensive training programs in stone carving, silk weaving, and wood sculpture techniques.

Visitors can purchase three-day passes to the Angkor Archaeological Park, which includes transportation arrangements and professional guide services.

African pouched rats at the APOPO Visitor Center detect unexploded landmines throughout Cambodia's rural areas, contributing to local safety initiatives.
