| Walking tour: Adventurous West-Papua |
Adventurous West- Papua, 14 days
West Papua or Irian Jaya is the western half of the island of New Guinea. It was only 'acquired' by the Indonesians after the Dutch surrendered control in the 1960s. Over three times larger than Java and Bali combined, Irian Jaya's 421,981 sq km is mainly impenetrable jungle where traditional tribes still manage to survive harsh conditions and modern intrusions. The magnificent Baliem Valley offers unique culture and trekking opportunities and is by far the major tourist attraction. Pulau Biak is popular for its stunning beaches.
