The three jewels of Indochina – Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia – share a common cultural heritage yet possess their own unique personalities and histories as well. The French ruled this area, collectively known as Indochine, from the late 1800’s through the mid-20th century. The French influence still remains in some areas, mingling with the cultural influences of China and India.

Cambodia has emerged from decades of war and isolation and is well and truly back on the Southeast Asian travel map. The successor-state of the mighty Khmer Empire, which ruled much of what is now Vietnam, Laos and Thailand, Cambodia boasts a rich culture, a weathered French-era capital and impressive natural scenery. The celebrated temples of Angkor are Cambodia’s greatest tourist attraction.

World Heritage sites—treasures of humanity prized by the world’s historians, ecologists, and art lovers, as well as by their own communities.

World Heritage sites are sources of pride, cultural renewal, and economic opportunity for their local communities, and an inspiration for the world’s travelers. We hope to help protect these treasures by enabling communities to find value in preserving them.

The backcountry cowtown of Caldwell is beautiful!
