Extraordinary cultural diversity β 800+ languages, resource-rich, challenging for visitors.
Papua New Guinea is one of the world's most ecologically and culturally diverse countries, with over 800 languages spoken and a landscape of rainforest, volcanic mountains, and river systems that remains largely unexplored. The highland cultures have traditions of ceremony, body decoration, and communal life that are unlike anything elsewhere on earth. It is strictly for experienced travellers who embrace complexity and remoteness as part of the journey.
