Deep in the jungle outside Siem Reap lies the ancient temple complex of Angkor Wat, a huge area of ornate, stone-carved temples, bridges, and gateways. Built over centuries (and planned by a succession of self-proclaimed God-Kings), this was the capital of the Khmer Empire and is a testament to the ambitions of the region's ancient rulers. The site is impressive for both its size and the detail of the work that went into each building, and visitors can explore thousands of temples linked by long-overgrown pathways through the wilderness.
