Looking out over the Kampot Pepper Farm

La Plantation pepper farm

Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or simply spice curious, you can’t possibly leave Cambodia without a taste of Kampot pepper. 

Practically revered in the culinary world, this musky, eucalyptus-noted peppercorn is widely considered the best of the best – and La Plantation is our favorite place to try it. First, tour the farm, smell and taste the different varieties, and learn to cook some Khmer dishes where pepper is the star of the show. Then check out the shop – stuffed with everything from black to pink and salted pepper, and even (wildly popular) pepper-infused rum. Be warned: you may need another suitcase.

Children taking part in Angkor Thom scavenger hunt

Angkor Thom scavenger hunt

If you like exploration with a purpose, it’s time to channel your inner Indiana Jones and unlock the secrets of Angkor Thom. 

Armed with nothing but a map, some clues, and your camera, you’ll start at the South Gate, where remarkable statues depicting mythological demons and gods line the fifty-meter walkway. As you solve each riddle, you’ll be drawn into the heart of this ancient Khmer city, uncovering the stories behind the Terrace of the Leper King and the enigmatic faces of the 54 Bayon towers as you go. Once you’ve captured eleven photos, it’s time to meet up with your guide to find out if you completed your quest!
