Without doubt, the Angkor is the pearl and the soul of the Kingdom of Cambodia, the center of spiritual, political and geographical and the most important ancient civilizations in Southeast of Asia. The heart of the great Khmer empire, perfect fusion of creative ambition and spiritual devotion and a place of wonder and amazement lost in legend and surrounded by nature.
The story began in the year 802, when Jayavarman II declared himself the universal god-king, according devaraja worship, thus beginning the first of a succession of 39 kings who ruled over the lands of Cambodia. Thus he was created the Angkor and its temples, in a period marked by great and imaginary buildings, majestic temples and lavish decorations, complex irrigation systems and ambitious architectural projects. But the pomp reached became a target for the attacks of their neighbors Siamese. After repeated invasions, which culminated in the looting of Angkor in the 15th century, the city was abandoned to the jungle until the 19th century, when a French missionary discovered and revealed the existence of this jewel of the orient.
Siem Reap is the nearest town to the temples, current basis and starting point to visit the Angkor Wat archaeological complex. Siem Reap has become a base and the most important tourist attraction of the country due to the existence of the archeological sites in the Angkor Complex.
The city of Siem Reap is an interesting city with all those old shops and elegant French style and graceful tree-lined boulevards, French Indochina cultural heritage, mingle with luxury hotel and spa, gastronomy and shopping.
