Indonesia's Papau
Papau
Misty peaks towering over permanent snowfields and blue glaciers. Steamy island treasures just off the coast. Cossowaries, dugongs, tree dwelling monitor lizards and egg laying echidnas constituting just a small fragment of the rich wildlife mosaic that colors its lush expanse of jungle greenery. This, the world's second largest island, is a weird and wild tapestry of the imagination's most colorful fascinations. As it has long lured explorers, naturalists, anthropologists, politicians and travelers alike, the vibrantly exotic Papua now welcomes you into its rich landscape of natural wonders.
Home to such characteristic settings as the Baliem Valley, where many of Papua’s 250 languages sound proudly, as well as the artistic Asmat region, the bird life and coral life of the northern coast and some of the world’s most impenetrable jungle, Papua is a diverse treasure just waiting to appease the curious soul.
