New release - Detailed information about the country and its people - Current travel tips

The small country of Laos is surrounded by much larger neighbors and has no access to the sea. Nevertheless, its landscapes are diverse: from the large mountain ranges in the north to karst mountains with massive caves and underground rivers, to the plains along the Mekong where rice is cultivated, and the waterfalls on the border with Cambodia in the south. The entire temple complex of the former capital Luang Prabang and the Khmer temple Wat Phu are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Friendly people, colorful markets, and a diverse cuisine promise an enriching travel experience.
