Why Papua New Guinea
Purely adventurous, awesomely anthropological and exceptionally exotic. It’s a remote frontier that’s bubbling with intrigue and begs to be discovered for those brave enough to make the trek. It’s home to the world’s most exotic tribes, who together speak over 800 different languages nearly impossible to understand if you’re not in the inner tribal circles. Many here still rely on Stone Age practices, elaborate ceremonies, and festivals that keep the ancient tradition alive and as visitors, we have rare opportunities to catch glimpses of these overwhelmingly amazing sights.
