These figures with their peaceful expression and full of compassion evoke the king who had them built, Jayavarman VII, or the Buddhist figure of Lokesvara, with whom the sovereign identified. Lunch at local restaurant. Visit the 8th wonder of the world, Angkor Wat: One of the most splendid human achievements to have ever seen the light of day, Angkor Wat is the most famous and the most beautiful monument of Angkor. It is a 12th century temple dedicated to Vishnu, built during the reign of King Suryavarman II, surrounded by vast moats of remarkable dimensions and proportions. The heart of the temple is surrounded by a series of galleries covered with carved bas-reliefs. Ta Prohm Temple, made famous by the film Tomb Raider, this temple nestled in the middle of the jungle is one of the most exceptional on the site. This is the perfect example of nature taking back its rights! Indeed, the great roots of cheese trees and ficus have grown inside the ruins and today sublimate the stones.
