West Papua forms the western half of the large island widely known as New Guinea. Administratively part of Indonesia, West Papua  is officially known as Irian Jaya.
To experience West Papua is to embark on a voyage into one of humanity's deepest mysteries. This far-away and little known isla
lies like a curled infant in the lap of Mother Nature.
West Papua is home to the most ethnologically primitive cultures on Earth. No less than 25% of the world's languages are spoken here and obviously you will find a vast display of tribes and tribal customs. These are people largely unaffected by the strictures of the modern world as we know it; a race adapted to daily life solely through their basic survival elements.
