ali throughout indonesia jayapura west papua

With Merpati (the Indonesian airline who invites you to “get the feeling”), you can head to Jayapura. It’s even more convenient if you’re coming from Ujung Pandang (or Makassar, in South Sulawesi). If you plan to go deep deep down in Baliem valley, don’t forget the “surat jalan”, a go-permit you have to get at the nearest police station, Polres or Polda named if I remember well. Only a thousand people a year happen to get there. The experiment is quite awesome. Amazing birds, parrots, budgerigars and never ending beaches. This venue was first discovered in 1939 till Dutch colonialism in the 50’s. After a one hour flight in a Fokker f-500, I arrived Wamena where I met Dani-Papuans, quite naked but a loin case. What a great change of scenery!
