Papua New Guinea - Wink Travel Guide

Papua New Guinea, officially the Independent State of Papua New Guinea comprises the eastern part of the world's largest and highest tropical island, New Guinea, together with many smaller offshore islands. It has a long and un-policed land border with the Papua region of Indonesia to the west.

For people who can make it out here, the experience is unforgettable. The incredible natural beauty is simply indescribable. Its unique flora and fauna includes enormous radiations of marsupials and birds, including the Raggiana bird-of-paradise (the national symbol) and several species of tree kangaroos.

Untouched coral reefs compete with spectacular World War II wrecks for the attention of divers, and the hiking is out of this world.
