Balliem Valley, Papua - trip of in Papua New Guinea

Travel through the time tunnel

Baliem Valley and the Dani tribes, are one of the last redoubts of prehistoric life on the planet. Discovered by the expedition of Richard Archbold in 1938 while they were still practicing cannibalism, they still rely on stone, bone and wood tools. We enter one of the most virgin areas of the world, combining stay in hotels, transfer by private vehicle, light trekking and overnight in local cases; The only possible way to live an authentic journey through the tunnel of time. By proximity, we suggest combining the visit to the Baliem Valley with stay in the archipelago of Raja Ampat or with Tana Toraja in Sulawesi.
