Angkor Wat, located in Cambodia's northern province of Siem Reap, is the largest religious monument in the world. Find countless temples, basins, reservoirs, canals, communication routes, and engineering triumphs dating back to the 12th century at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park is still inhabited by the Khmer people and houses some of the most phenomenal artistic feats accomplished in the ancient world. The architecture has stood the test of time with sophisticated carvings, meticulous etchings, towers, and moats, which are still preserved with great integrity. If this isn't enough to make your bucket list, perhaps an unbelievable sunrise will seal the deal. Arrive early and watch the day begin as the sun peeks out from behind Angkor's historic spires. Take in a moment of serenity as you watch the sky's backdrop develop unforgettable red, orange, and yellow hues.
