Pocas ciudades han soportado tantas tragedias en su pasado reciente como Phnom Penh. Este viaje emocional de medio día te lleva a algunos de los lugares más estrechamente asociados con el capítulo más oscuro en la historia de Camboya. Habrá desgarradores momentos que detallan algunos de los crímenes incalificables que sufrió la gente común durante los cuatro años de reinado de terror de los jemeres rojos.
El tour comienza donde todo empezó, cuando visitemos el lugar donde los periodistas acampaban en 1975 en la víspera de la toma de posesión del Khmer Rouge. Verás un edificio que ha quedado calcinado y agujereado por las balas tal y como quedó tras la guerra.
A continuación nos enfrentaremos al sangriento pasado de Camboya con una visita guiada por el Museo del Genocidio Tuol Sleng. Esta antigua escuela sirvió como centro de torturas de los jemeres rojos, y es un doloroso recordatorio de la brutalidad de lo ocurrido en este país empobrecido. Luego nos dirigiremos fuera de la ciudad, al Memorial Choueng, donde una pagoda compuesta de miles de cráneos humanos marca el sitio de uno de los notorios campos de asesinato. Este impactante memorial recuerda la inhumanidad del régimen de los jemeres rojos. La magnitud del derramamiento de sangre que cayó sobre Phnom Penh queda patente por el hecho de que su población se redujo de 370.000 a 32.000 personas durante esta pesadilla totalitaria.
Sumérgete en la cultura khmer y aprende a cocinar algunos de los manjares de la zona antes de ir a contemplar algunos templos. Cocina, come y explora todo lo que este gran país puede ofrecerte.
Tras quedar en el colegio del pueblo de Angkor, la primera parada será el fascinante mercado viejo. Este laberinto de puestos hacinados que venden cualquier cosa bajo el sol es un verdadero paraíso para los amantes de la gastronomía. Nuestro chef te guiará por él explicándote todo sobre el arroz y los productos de temporada necesarios para la clase de cocina. Tras el alboroto del mercado te esperan una toalla fría y un té refrescante de bienvenida en la escuela de cocina. Disfruta de una demostración de cocina antes de perderte por la cocina armado con un libro de recetas que detalla los tres platos que cocinarás. Mientras nuestras fosas nasales se embriagan del aroma de los fragantes curris y tu estómago empieza a rugir, se va acercando la hora de comer y de sentarte para probar tu fantástico trabajo.
Después de comer visitaremos Prasat Kravan, el único templo con torre de ladrillo que contiene una impresionante escultura mural de Vishnu y Laksmi. Lo siguiente que veremos será Mebon oriental, situado en un islote en el centro de Baray oriental. Fíjate en la base del templo que está custodiada por figuras de piedra de elefantes con arnés. Continuaremos hacia Pre Rup, un majestuoso templo piramidal con torres, construido en el siglo X. Para terminar, investigaremos el curioso Neak Pean, un pequeño templo situado en medio de un embalse, al que solo se puede llegar en barco y que está rodeado por dos serpientes.
