PRIVATELY GUIDED TOUR
 |
|
PAPUA NEW GUINEA and Irian Jaya can truly be described as the ‘last unknown’. It was barely more than a century ago that the first Europeans explored these diverse and fascinating islands and there are still many areas that remain virtually untouched by western influence. Countless tribes still live by their ancient rituals and traditions of their ancestors. Today, use of English is widespread, yet more than 700 languages, two-thirds of the world’s total, are still spoken here. |
