IRIAN
JAYA (PAPUA)
It is the largest and most intact natural history museum in
existence which comprises roughly one half of the island of
New Guinea, the second largest island in the world after Greenland.
It is the least populated, least visited and most remote province
in Indonesia. Thousands of kilometres of jungle, mountains and
villages, most of them isolated and primitive, stretch across
the island from west coast to the inland border between Indonesia
and Papua New Guinea.
Irian Jaya holds immense fascination for the naturalist. It
is renowned for its colourful and exquisite species of the exotic
birds of paradise. There's a variety of tribes and local languages
spoken. Some tribes have hardly any contact with the outside
world. Their lifestyle, culture and traditions are still intact
and alive everywhere. Don't miss it ! |
