Papua New Guinea Holidays
Formed by the collision of the Australian Continental Plate and the Pacific Ocean Plates, Papua New Guinea is the world’s second largest island. A land of geological contrasts, marked open savannah to the south of the island, the dense tropical rainforest around the Karawari River and the alpine grasslands in the Tari Gap in the centre, all surrounded by pristine coral atolls.
Lying east of the Wallace line, an imaginary boundary that separates Asia from Oceania, the lack of a land bridge between these two continents has meant that the island has developed in isolation, captivating the imagination of travellers since its discovery.
This in turn has resulted in one of the largest untouched rainforests in the world, home to over 2000 species of orchids, the world’s largest butterfly and of course the country’s most famous inhabitants, the Birds of Paradise, as much a part of the islands heritage as the colourful tribal communities found here.
With over 700 known languages, nearly a third of the world’s total known languages, Papua New Guinea has one of the most diverse populations on earth with peoples whose lives and traditions remain an active part of everyday life and are as varied and breathtaking as the landscape that surrounds them, allowing intrepid travellers to immerse themselves in a vibrant collection of cultural possibilities.
