Holiday in Papua? Holiday with head hunters and cannibals? Yes, why not. First, tourists in Papua are not eaten for quite some time. And secondly, Papua provides the opportunity to visit real indigenous people with relatively little effort. Especially the Baliem Valley in Papua offers not only comfortable hotels, but also the possibility to visit primitive people within a one hour walking distance.
The Baliem Valley is located in the central part of Papua, the Jayawijaya Regency, and is a very famous destination of Papua. The natural beauty is enhanced by the people's faithful adherence to their ancestral customs and traditions. Their so called "primitive stone civilization" is one of the oldest and best preserved in Indonesia, despite the harsh conditions and rapid modernisation in today's life.
