Optional Extensions
Pre-Trip Extension: Papua New GuineaNovember 26 – December 5, 2010 From spectacular lowland rain forests on the coastal plains to 15,000-foot-high peaks, Papua New Guinea is rightly called “the land of the unexpected.” The lush green canopy of the tropical rain forest is home to 38 species of the ornately plumaged bird of paradise and over 2,700 species of orchids. Museums and collectors consider the Sepik region one of the best sources of primitive art in the world. Explore the fascinating culture and villages along the Karawari River, and enjoy the splendid setting of the lodge, designed as a traditional ancestral worship house, or Haus Tambaran. In the Southern Highlands, the Ambua Lodge offers a bird’s eye view of paradise, and showcases massive Sepik carvings.
