The COPE Visitor Centre in Vientiane is not a typical tourist attraction, but we still highly recommend a visit. Since its establishment in 1996, COPE provides nationwide physical rehabilitation services for people with mobility-related disabilities. Among those people, there are also UXO survivors. The term refers to people who became victims of unexploded ordnance like landmines. In most cases, they don’t have the money for prosthetic or orthotic services. COPE provides those services free of charge, allowing victims to regain mobility and live a better life.
Stop 6
Buddha Park, famous for being home to more than 200 religious statues, including a huge 40-meter Reclining Buddha image.
