Angkor Wat (Khmer: ) is the largest Hindu temple complex and the largest
religious monument in the world. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman
II in the early 12th century in Yasodharapura (Khmer: , present-day Angkor),
the capital of the Khmer Empire, as his state temple and eventual mausoleum. Breaking
from the Shaivism tradition of previous kings, Angkor Wat was instead dedicated to
Vishnu. As the best-preserved temple at the site, it is the only one to have remained a
significant religious centre since its foundation first Hindu, then Buddhist. The temple
is at the top of the high classical style of Khmer architecture. It has become a symbol of
Cambodia,appearing on its national flag, and it is the countrys prime attraction for
visitors.

Tequendama Falls (or Salto del Tequendama) is a major tourist attraction about 30 km
southwest of Bogot, the capital city of Colombia. The thousands of tourists who visit the
area to admire the 157 metre (515 feet) tall waterfall and the surrounding nature, make a
stop at another nearby landmark as well, the abandoned Hotel del Salto. The
luxurious Hotel del Salto opened in 1928 to welcome wealthy travelers visiting the
Tequendama Falls area. Situated just opposite to the waterfall and on the edge of the cliff,
it provided a breathtaking view to its guests. During the next decades though, Bogot
river was contaminated and tourists gradually lost their interest to the area. The hotel
finally closed down in the early 90s and was left abandoned ever since. The fact that
many people in the past chose that spot to commit suicide, made others believe that the
hotel is haunted.
