Papua is known as the “land of unexpected” because Papua is truly unique local, full of pristine rain-forest and home to the most ethnologically primitive people on earth. Papua is Indonesia’s largest and the most eastern province. The most heavily populated and cultivated parts of the island are the Paniai Lakes District and the Baliem Valley  to the east.
