Landlocked, but not short on beauty or culture, Laos is a vibrant country where history, nature, and spirituality collide. Its beginnings as the heart of Indochina go back at least seven centuries, where economic wealth and finding richness in diversity gave way to internal conflict and division.

Laos is a small country that borders Thailand and Cambodia. It's further off the beaten track for those who want a new adventure, but not so far off as to be intimidating. The country is mainly rural with 90% of its geography covered with tropical rainforest, which means it's an excellent country for nature lovers.
