Papua New Guinea

Travel Insurance > Travel Guide > Australasia > Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea is largely cut-off from the outside world although it was known to Europeans as early as the 16th Century. Much of the country is inaccessible by road and therefore modern developments and relations outside of the country are relatively scarce. Often the only way to reach many parts is by plane or to trek for great distances.
