The Pak Ou Caves can be found overlooking the Mekong river roughly two hours upstream from Luang Prabang.
The caves are treated as a shrine and contain hundreds of Buddha statues, most of which are fairly small and many have suffered damage due to the exposed nature of the site.
The setting is spectacular and whilst the caves themselves aren't particularly large their setting and collections of Buddha images make them an unforgettable sight (the lower cave has by far the largest concentration of sculptures).

Ñaw pak es un grupo musical de niños de la comunidad de Peguche, en Otavalo, Ecuador.
Peguche es conocido por unas cascadas que llevan el mismo nombre, las cuales quedan a 1.5 kms distancia, en el centro de la comunidad Faccha Llacta. Estas cascadas son importantes porque representan la relación de los nativos indÃgenas con su historia y con la naturaleza; por ejemplo, en el mes de diciembre, en la celebración del Inti rayme, las cascadas son centros ceremoniales en los que se realizan baños de purificación para dar la bienvenidas a los ciclos de la vida, tanto en el hombre como en las cosechas que les brinda la tierra.
Es importante para estas comunidades que la conciencia y aceptación de su cultura y tradición (a pesar de sus modificaciones) en especial por los niños, se mantenga, es su forma de resistencia, es un lucha por el respeto, por su historia y su vigencia como comunidades nativas-indÃgenas.
La música es una medio para ese fin, pues constituye un forma de mantener sus tradiciones, importantes por lo que representan, en el caso de ésta, por ser la interpretación de los sonidos de la naturaleza y lo que ella brinda a la vida; también su cuerpo es medio de expresión en esta misma lÃnea, pues conservar el cabello largo peinado en trenza significa la resistencia a la aculturación y la anulación de su historia y memoria.
Ñaw Pak, un grupo de niños que no superan los 13 años de edad representa, de alguna forma, toda esa búsqueda.

A student walks on the debris of a school building allegedly destroyed by militants in Mingora, capital of Pakistan's troubled valley of Swat on Tuesday, April 21, 2009. Taliban militants are setting up checkpoints in a district next to the valley, a lawmaker said Wednesday, spurring fears that a government-backed peace deal imposing Islamic law in the area has emboldened the insurgents to expand their reign.
