Wamena



Wamena is the capital of Jayawijaya Regency. Already long time foreign tourists willingly come all the way here for one thing: Baliem Valley Festival. This festival is already worldwide, but the tourists are still outnumbered Nusantara numbers of tourists to visit it.

In the Baliem Valley Festival, mountain tribes are gathering. They took turns performing a war dance with traditional clothes and face full of makeup. There are also various other attractions, souvenir markets and others.

Wamena is like the heart of Papuan culture. Thankfully, the government has improved the Wamena Airport to be cooler and gives the first impression of a stunning traveler when landing here.
