TRAVEL TO PAPUA WITH LOCAL TRAVEL AGENCY
Adventure in Asmat - Papua offers a unique experience involving culture, nature, and art. You can explore the forest rich in flora and fauna, meet the Asmat Tribe directly, and witness their unique traditional rituals.
The Asmat tribe is a tribe in the South Papua Province, Indonesia. The Asmat tribe is known for its unique wood carvings. The Asmat tribe’s population is divided into two groups, namely those who live on the coast and those who live in the interior. The Asmat tribe is known for its very distinctive traditional wood carvings. Some ornaments/motifs that are often used and become the main theme in the process of carving statues carried out by the Asmat tribe take the theme of the ancestors of their tribe, which are usually called mbis. But it doesn’t stop there; other ornaments/motifs that resemble boats or Wuramon are often found, which they believe are symbols of spirit boats that carry their ancestors in the after life.

About
The former headhunters and cannibals of the Asmat were once very feared and have only been safe to visit for a few decades. Until today many Asmat villages are wild and culturally intact. From Timika we fly directly to the Asmat capital. We witness several big events involving hundreds of people. A gigantic boat ceremony, drum festivals, mask dances and the ceremonial carving of an ancestor pole are all part of the massive experience. You will visit several Asmat villages and experience the daily life of the people up close. Of course, Asmat ceremonies are also planned, where the ancient spirit of the Asmat comes to life.
