Trip Details: Trip Name: PAPUA NEW GUINEA PARADISE Trip Region: South Pacific Trip Ref: TXALP Duration: 17 days    » Itinerary Papua New Guinea has it all; the scenery is as diverse as it is majestic: the Sepik River is reminiscent of the Amazon with its huge jungle while the Highland region is a mixture of crisp mornings, beautiful sunsets and vibrant wildlife, including the fabulous Birds of Paradise. In New Britain Province you will find smouldering volcanoes and highly acclaimed coral reefs. Culturally it is one of the most extraordinary places on earth as the range of distinct languages (over 800!) and people groups is scarcely believable. As colourful and exotic as many of their names - Huli wigmen, Asaro mudmen - suggest, many of these people groups have only come into contact with the West in the past 50 years and remain refreshingly traditional in their outlook. The fact that you will be seeing all this far away from any tourist hordes is just another element of this trip that makes it so special.
