Amantaka - Pak Ou Caves

Believed to have been discovered in the 16th century, the caves occupy two levels and could have been a place of spirit worship. On your way to and from the caves there is much to see as village life unfolds alongside and men fish in the river's waters. You can also stop at the "Lao whisky village" where sticky rice is distilled to become the famous "Lao Lao" one of the staple drinks in Laos.
