It occupies part of the vast alluvial plain between the great Tonle Sap lake and the mountain range of Phnom Kulen. The city of Siem Reap, developed since the twenties parallel with the increased flow of tourists, it is the main point of access.

The majority of the most famous and most visited temples is concentrated in an area of ​​about 15 km to 6.5 km north of Siem Reap, but the total area defined as Angkor is much larger: the "Angkor Archaeological Park" is It covers 400 square kilometers and includes sites such as Kbal Spean, 40 km away from the central area
