Angkor Wat, Cambodia

The 9th-Century capitol of the Khmer Empire is big—154 square miles big. Zero in on the most important sites, like the unmissable Temple of Angkor Wat, which took 30 years to build and is reportedly the largest religious building on earth, and Bayon Temple, which has 200 carved stone faces adorning its exterior. After taking in the site, we recommend signing up for a Cambodian Village Cooking Class; you’ll ride a tuk tuk to the rural site and learn to whip up Cambodian curry and coconut fish Amok.
