With over 1,000 ethnic groups and 800 distinct languages, Papua New Guinea is an anthropologist’s dream. The most linguistically-diverse place on earth naturally boasts a plethora of fascinating tribes, most of whom have resisted the lure of modernity, fiercely retaining ancient traditions and beliefs. Colourful tribes compete for attention during sing-sings, or gatherings of tribes or villages to peacefully show off their distinct culture, dance and music. Avid birdwatchers can look out for the elusive national treasure – the Birds of Paradise, among other exotic species.
