OVERVIEW
Situated east of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea is one of the prettiest places on earth for its unspoiled natural scenery.
Its landscape includes volcanic mountains, isolated beaches and dense jungles. In addition, its indigenous cultures still possess much of their original character using 700 separate languages. Visitors are able to appreciate the variety of the country's tribal cultures. The disputes among tribes have only been partially solved during the annual dance and costume competitions. You can still see fierce warriors carrying bows and arrows in a number of regions.
Some places (such as the Baiyer River area, one of the country's most interesting nature reserves) are not safe enough to visit. Everywhere you travel in the country, you are stepping on tribal land. Attitudes of the people whose land you're trespassing will range from friendly to dangerous, though the truth is that the majority welcome visitors.
Local people are mainly Roman Catholic and their official language is English. The country has a tropical climate with two monsoon seasons. Papua New Guinea's currency is the Kina.
Some tips to take into account when visiting Papua New Guinea: US driving permits are accepted, the electricity runs on 240 Volts and the country code is 675.
