A Stimulating Experience In Papua Indonesia

Papua is located in Far East of Indonesia and it was considered as remote province because the access to go there is not as easy and as affordable as other places in Indonesia especially in Java Island. This island offers a different kind of beauty, unlike many other places because this place is a unique combination of Melanesian culture, with sublime landscape and also extraordinary wild life.

So, when people come and visit Papua, they will enjoy a stimulating experience, an experience that is totally different even for people who are Indonesian. Here are some examples of places, things and activity that make the whole journey unforgettable:
