Continue by Ta Prohm famous for its huge trees with sprawling aerial roots and conclude with a sunset from the heights of Phnom Bakheng.

(attention: Phnom Bakheng is prohibited for children under 12 years old and the authorities limit access to 300 people at sunset, thus creating a queue)

 Possibility of making the visits in the opposite direction to avoid the crowds. Just let your guide know at the start of the day.

 Temples are sacred places, avoid short clothes, cover your shoulders and wear pants or a long skirt.

 In order to preserve these fragile monuments, it is forbidden to touch the sculptures or to sit on elements of the temple.

 In Cambodian culture, it is offensive to heckle inside a sacred place, calm and respect are key words.

 It is not recommended to buy items or sweets from child sellers, this only encourages begging and the practice of skipping school, prefer a donation to an association if it is important to you.

After about 45 minutes of driving, we start the day with a visit to the Angkor Center for the Protection of Biodiversity. We will be able to see the efforts made by local and international teams to protect endangered local species: turtles and other reptiles, birds and rare mammals. Children and animal lovers will be enchanted by this discovery and awareness visit.

Ruins of temples dating from the 9th century border a river whose bed is strewn with carved lingas. A small waterfall near the protected sacred site will allow us to cool off or even swim there (bring a small towel).

Very accessible hike of around 1.5 km (or 3 km round trip) with a small elevation gain over the last 700 meters. Bring walking shoes/sneakers as the path is quite rocky.

Continue with the visit of Banteay Srey temple, smaller than the gigantic Angkor Wat or Bayon. This pink sandstone temple nicknamed "The Citadel of Women" is known for the refinement of bas-reliefs and sculptures that adorn its walls and columns.

Then, discover the Banteay Samre temple.
