Get to know the real Cambodia through our specially developed Avila Experiences; unique experiences that add an extra dimension to your travel experience.
An Avila introduction
This exclusive Cambodia introduction experience is conducted from Siem Reap, the place from which to visit the magical Angkor and where most tours begin. The combination of this introduction includes art, inspiring purpose, handicrafts and local spirit. You will first visit one of Cambodia's best local artists where you will immediately learn about the different cultural practices in the country.
You will then visit the Apopo Centre, a foundation dedicated to clearing landmines and curing tuberculosis. Next, you will be taken to the Satcha Handicraft centre where you will both learn more about Cambodian art, and get to work with woodcarving or painting yourself. You will end this unique tour at a local house where they produce Cambodian wine in an artful way. This introduction to Cambodia will give you a good idea of the country you are about to explore. An excellent start to your trip!
The Avila Experience in Angkor
The temples of Angkor Wat are Cambodia's biggest tourist attraction. Naturally, a UNESCO-awarded cultural masterpiece like this attracts millions of people on an annual basis. A visit to the temples can therefore be overwhelming at times. However, this unique Angkor tour makes a visit to the temples truly memorable.
You will tread the unbeaten paths in Angkor, walking through small villages from temple to temple. You will explore hidden entrances and temples so deep in the jungle that most people never get to see these magnificent structures. Combined with a 1960s jeep and an exclusive lunch in a traditional Cambodian house, you will feel like a true explorer on this tour.
A day with Daniel
Whether you set out by tuktuk, bicycle, or jeep, together with Daniel, a Dutchman living in Cambodia with his family, you will visit places that remain a mystery to others. Admiring vast lotus fields, visiting hidden and forgotten temples, picnicking at a pagoda, or watching a sunset with barbecue by the lake, you will surely enjoy the authenticity of a day on the road with Daniel. Be surprised and leave the programme blank, the day will come as it comes and who knows, you might just end up at a Cambodian wedding somewhere in the countryside around Siem Reap!
