Laos 

Located in the heart of the Indochinese peninsula Laos is a small rural and mountainous state where the endearing population cultivates an art of living without agitation or vain desires Bô Pen Nian. Sleepy wild and enigmatic, the former kingdom of the "million elephants" seduces travelers with its serene atmosphere, its exceptional cultural heritage, enriched by the multiplicity of historical legacies such as Luang Prabang a city classified as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its preserved colonial architecture and its beautiful Buddhist temples Laos is also a unique natural heritage between rivers, mountains, waterfalls and its formidable human kaleidoscope with the northern ethnic groups still present and with unchanging ancestral traditions.
