Angkor Wat: Highlights and Sunrise with Spanish Guide in Siem Reap

This is an 8-hour experience from Siem Reap, built around Angkor Wat, Srah Srang and Ta Prohm Temple. It is run by Journey Cambodia, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Angkor Wat was built in the first half of the 12th century by Suryavarman II as a Hindu temple to Vishnu, later turned to Buddhist use, and it is the largest religious monument on earth at roughly 162 hectares inside its moat. Unlike almost every other Khmer temple it faces west. The outer gallery carries about 600 metres of bas-relief, including the Churning of the Ocean of Milk, and the central towers represent Mount Meru. The upper level has a dress code that is actually enforced: shoulders and knees covered, no vests, or you are turned back at the stairs. An Angkor Pass is required and costs USD 37 for one day, 62 for three and 72 for seven, sold only through Angkor Enterprise; under-12s are free on a passport.

The price covers Visit Angkor Wat at sunrise, Explore the temples of Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm, Angkor Thom, guide who speaks Spanish, Complimentary bottle of water and a damp towel to stay cool and Travel comfortably in an air-conditioned vehicle. It does not cover Entrance to the temples and Foods, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
