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.

FCO Country Advice for Papua New Guinea
Due to the fact that it has mainly been shielded from the influence
of the western world, Papua New Guinea has preserved much of
the variety, traditions, and lifestyles of its people. Over 700
different languages are spoken, a fact that you won’t fail
to notice on arrival. It has an extremely diverse terrain that
really makes an impression and ranges from palm lined, white
sandy beaches surrounded by coral reefs to towering mountain.
The people of Papua New Guinea generally consider themselves
to be more of the Pacific than of Asia . |
