Unquestionably, Cambodia is THE touristic discovery of the early years of 21st century.
Long time avoided by foreigners, more attracted by Thailand or Vietnam, the country records today an extraordinary growth of visitors.
This is not without valid reasons. All elements are here to make Cambodia one of the top tourist destinations on the planet, not only in Asia. The site of Angkor is undoubtedly its major asset, being the largest archaeological complex of the world - and possibly the most remarkable. But it’s not the only one. The beauty of landscapes goes beyond any expectation. The charm and kindness of people make you fall in love since the very first moment, the food surprises, just as the number of temples, pagoda and sites of artistic, historical or natural interest still untouched by most popular tourist routes.
A journey to Cambodia is never disappointing. There is so much to do and see, one has no time to get tired or bored. History, archaeology, arts, nature, sunshine, beaches, gastronomy, handicrafts, ethnic minorities – everything is here.
To get the best of it, a tour to Cambodia requires however a minimum of organization. The infrastructures are still those of a developing country. There is only one domestic connection by air, between the capital and Angkor temples. The roads system is fastly improving, but public transports are still not reliable, except for few private bus companies. Railways are just a funny attraction, not really a mean of transport. The country is just opening up, many sites are difficult to access, a huge number of temples hidden in the jungle, waiting to be cleared. Besides personal goodwill, the professional skills of many service providers in the tourism industry suffer for lack of instruction and experience. The assistance of a local tourist organization is therefore essential to enjoy the trip, avoid bad surprises and make the time in Cambodia a memorable one amongst all.
A wonderful country, beyond any description, that Amarita invites you to visit now. Quickly, before the modern world catches it up, changing the genuine character of this people and its unique cultural and artistic heritage. What we have to show you, is worth the travelling effort to reach this land.
