Day 3Angkor Thom & Angkor Wat
At dawn, you will have an appointment with the most famous and most incredible of all the temples of the city of Angkor: Angkor Wat. Considered the largest religious building ever built by man, this gigantic temple is a model of symbolism and symmetry, and today is more than ever the pride of an entire people. Erected in the 12th century by King Suryavarman II, it is unanimously recognized by specialists as the eighth wonder of the world, and has been listed since 1992 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In the afternoon, you will discover the prodigious city of Angkor Thom, the masterpiece of the most powerful Khmer ruler, Jayavarman VII.

The magnitude of the construction is staggering, and the audacity of the monarch strikes every visitor who enters the precincts of the city.

Day 4Preak Toal
Vous partirez sur le lac Tonlé Sap à la découverte de la biosphère préservée et immaculée de Prek Toal, habitat naturel de plusieurs espèces d’oiseaux endémiques, dont la plupart sont en voie de disparition. L’immense lac est l’un des plus prolifiques au monde et des milliers d’espèces vivent dans les forêts inondées du Tonlé Sap.
Prek Toal est l’un des endroits les plus prisés pour l’observation d’oiseaux rares en Asie du Sud-est ; vous y verrez des cigognes, des adjudants, des pélicans ou encore des ibis. Une excursion à Prek Toal nécessite un départ aux aurores vers 5h30 du matin. Vous serez donc conduit par bateau du Phnom Krom jusqu’à Prek Toal, et un petit déjeuner vous sera proposé durant la navigation. Après l’observation des oiseaux et un déjeuner local, vous partagerez la vie des habitants de l’un des villages flottants environnants, apprenant différentes de leurs techniques de pêche et de leur art de tisser la jacinthe d’eau. Le retour vers Siem Reap se fera en fin d’après-midi.
