Few combinations in Siem Reap are as satisfying as pairing a morning on Tonle Sap Lake with an afternoon at Casa de Capybara. Here is your perfect day.
Morning — Tonle Sap Lake and the Floating Villages
Start early. Hire a tuk tuk and head to Tonle Sap Lake — Southeast Asia’s largest freshwater lake. Kampong Phluk (30km) or Chong Kneas (15km). Entrance $5-20 depending on season. Take a boat through flooded forests, watch daily life of fishing communities. Plan to be on water by 8am and back in Siem Reap by noon. Then the afternoon belongs entirely to Casa de Capybara.
Afternoon — Casa de Capybara
Ring Road, Street 598 — minutes from Angkor Wat. First, Capybara Cafe — full international menu, wide selection alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Then meet Molly and Alex — Cambodia's only two capybaras. $10 Full Experience includes encounter, feeding, photography, facts, souvenir, pool, playground and playroom. $30 family package. If staying overnight — 23 themed rooms from $50, unlimited complimentary capybara access. cms.casadecapybara.com/
Why This Combination Works
Tonle Sap gives you the soul of Cambodia. Casa de Capybara gives you the joy of Cambodia. Together — a day that covers everything worth knowing about Siem Reap. Ancient and new. Vast and intimate. Profound and playful. And both, completely unforgettable.
