Laos: serenity, harmony, peace

Is there a journey better than one that enriches the soul and awakens curiosity? Probably not. You simply must discover Laos

You look at the map and suddenly you see it: Laos. Nestled between Vietnam and Thailand. Landlocked, yet full of exhilarating sensations.

Laos is an incredibly magical country. Spirituality is in the air. What better way to experience it than a boat journey along the majestic Mekong River, observing life in the riverside villages, the temples, and the privileged nature. A sunset on the Mekong is always unforgettable.

Arriving in Luang Prabang, you might wonder which century you are in. It is the spiritual heart of the country. Its mysticism permeates you as you stroll among its countless temples.

In Vientiane, French villas, Chinese houses, and impeccably gilded wats compete for your attention.

Laos is serenity felt in villages and cities, but also in nature. It is overwhelming. The Pak Ou caves, perched on cliffs above the Mekong, offer an astonishing spectacle with thousands of Buddha statues seemingly watching over the river.

The Kuang Si waterfalls are a further pause of harmony in a country that is entirely harmonious. Turquoise pools, exotic jungle, and peace — abundant peace.

In the south, the Bolaven Plateau offers three reasons to visit: an endless succession of waterfalls, beautiful tea and coffee plantations — excellent, by the way — and the feeling of arriving in a place few people visit.

A country full of hidden secrets: Laos.
