Papua New Guinea (Lonely Planet Papua New Guinea & Solomon Islands)

The cover text Papua New Guinea is a rugged and beautiful Pacific nation lying between Asia and Australia. Over 600 languages and many unique artforms have developed in the fertile valleys and on the many islands of this extraordinary country. From its coastal cities to its villages perched beside mighty rivers, palm‑fringed beaches and rushing mountain streams Papua New Guinea promises memorable travelling. This book tells you how to boat down the Sepik River, dive some of the world's clearest waters and explore the Highland mountains and valleys; how to stay in villages, mission guesthouses or luxury lodges; and how to get around by plane, freighter, or dugout canoe.
