[{"title":"Day 1: Arrive Port Moresby","name":"Port Moresby","description":"Upon arrival into Port Moresby, you are met at the airport by an Arcadia representative, who will transfer you by private vehicle to your hotel.\r\nAt our 6pm group meeting, you will meet the expedition leader, Dr Ben Shaw, who will introduce you to the rich and complex histories of Papua New Guinea and will set the scene for the rest of this remarkable journey.\r\nTonight we have a very special welcome dinner and banquet at Mumu, Port Moresby’s premiere dining experience. Mumu is a customary banquet that has been an important feature of local life over centuries, when extended family, villages and entire tribes gather in celebration. This contemporary take on the traditional method of using hot rocks in the ground fuses the old world with the new, distinctively PNG, but with world-class quality and presentation.\r\nWe stay this evening at the Airways Hotel, one of the country’s leading properties. Nestled in its own botanical gardens, the hotel is set in an oasis of luxury in one of the Pacific’s most striking settings.","lat":"-9.4438","lng":"147.180267"},{"title":"Day 2: Port Moresby","name":"Port Moresby","description":"The original Motuan people of the area now known as Port Moresby are traditional seafarers with trading links that stretch throughout the Gulf of PNG. The annual trading expeditions, called hiri, involved Motu men preparing Lakatois, large multi hulled canoes especially designed to carry enormous payloads. Yams and clay pots made by the Motu women were the key items of exchange, usually for sago, other food staples and canoe logs.\r\nThey sailed from Hanuabada and other villages built on stilts above the waters of the bay with their voyages taking several months. Using the south-east trade winds, the outward journey was usually fairly smooth going, however conditions could be treacherous when sailing the fully loaded canoes back. This morning we will see a Lakatoi vessel up close and learn from a local expert about these incredible voyages.\r\nArcadia Exclusive This afternoon our group will have the privilege of visiting the fabulous PNG National Museum & Art Gallery in the company of the museum’s curator. The museum is the best in the country – it regulates all PNG cultural heritage collections and research and therefore houses some of the world’s most unique pieces of human history. To date it has well over 30,000 anthropological collections, 25,000 archaeological collections, 18,000 natural science collections, 20,000 war relics and more than 7,000 pieces of contemporary art. Our visit with the curator will provide tremendous insight and context for the journey ahead.","lat":"-9.4438","lng":"147.180267"},{"title":"Day 3: Wewak","name":"Wewak","description":"After breakfast, we transfer to the domestic terminal for our flight to Wewak, capital of the East Sepik. We check in to the best hotel in town, the charming Wewak Boutique Hotel, and dine in style at the hotel’s restaurant for lunch.\r\nThe arrival of World War II on the Sepik’s doorstep heralded a period of unprecedented change throughout the region. Men were forcibly enlisted as labourers en-masse by both sides and in some villages, the entire population of young men were killed or enslaved by Japanese forces. Local resources were plundered and foreign goods introduced. A new power dynamic emerged causing severe disruption to traditional social structures and relationships.\r\nThe Sepik region was largely under Japanese control throughout the war. This afternoon we visit Wom Airfield on the outskirts of Wewak, one of their major operations bases in the Pacific theatre. It was on this site on September 13, 1945 Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) 18th Army commander Adachi signed the instrument of surrender and handed his sword to Australian Army Major-General H.C.H. Robertson. This is an opportunity to touch on the magnitude of impact the war had on traditional societies across all of PNG, many who previously had little or no contact with the outside world.","lat":"-3.580023","lng":"143.658317"},{"title":"Day 4: Sepik River","name":"Maprik","description":"After breakfast, we drive over the Prince Alexander Mountains towards the legendary Sepik River. We stop in Maprik, home to a burgeoning vanilla trade. This highly sort after spice is transforming the economy of the area and is often traded across the West Papuan border, where its mislabelled and sold as an Indonesian product.\r\nWe travel on to Pagwi to meet our flotilla of dugout canoes, our transport for the next three days. The Sepik Region is often compared to that of the Amazon. The extensive lowland area is characterised by swamps, rivers and lakes all surrounded by thick rainforest. The people of the Sepik travel by canoe everywhere and have developed a fantastic tradition of carving and house construction. The lowland tropical jungle gives rise to amazing wildlife including the much-revered crocodiles. Our friendly hosts from the Iiatmul tribe are known for their ritual scarification. The marks are unique to the individual and can have various meanings associated with the ancestral crocodile totem.\r\nThis afternoon we visit traditional spirit houses and hear from elders about the ancient practices, superstitions and connections with the river that are still a prominent feature of everyday life. One of the villages we visit is Kanganamun, with its spectacular towering House Tambaran. This National Heritage listed building is one of the only original Spirit Houses of its kind still standing. We will be given a traditional welcome and gain a first-hand understanding of why this area has captivated art collectors and traders since the first artifacts from the Sepik appeared in international museums and galleries in the early 20th century.\r\nLate this afternoon we arrive at Kaminabit Village, where we will spend the night in the guest houses of a local village. You will feel safe and comfortable here. Sepik River Village guesthouses are very basic and may include the use of bucket showers and pit lavatories, however the Arcadia Expeditions team will make sure you have everything you need to be comfortable.

Glancing at a map of this enormous river and the tributaries that feed it, it’s likely to assume that trading routes in the region have traditionally followed these ample waterways throughout history, however there is much more here than meets the eye. Between 4,000-8,000 years ago, what are now the Sepik and Ramu basins was an enormous, brackish inland sea navigable from the north coast all the way to the feet of New Guinea’s central mountains. Archaeologists have proven through the distribution of stone mortar and pestles, pottery and even obsidian from West New Britain, that the region was a major trade route linking the coast to the central highlands. What are now hills and high points were islands and centres of population during pre-historic times. As the water receded towards what is now the mouth of the mighty river, geographic changes and the resultant redrawing of tribal boundaries broke the region into two distinct trading spheres.\r\nNowhere is this past reality more visible today than in the expansive waters of Chambri Lakes. We’ll spend the morning visiting the villages here. One of the villages, Aibom is home to one of the most distinctive styles of Sepik pottery, crafted from the blend of two clay types local to the village. These pots have been traded widely throughout the Sepik, along the coast and deep into the Highlands for centuries.\r\nArcadia Exclusive Whilst we have travelled more than 100km inland, we are today on the shores of an ancient coastline that would have been dotted with villages thousands of years ago. Are these some of the oldest villages in Papua New Guinea? You will have the opportunity to participate in researching the deep human past, by accompanying our Leader Dr Ben Shaw on a journey near the homestay to find the past village life on this ancient shoreline, further enriching our understanding of Middle Sepik trade and culture.","lat":"-3.851468","lng":"144.535502"},{"title":"Day 5: Sepik River","name":"Chambri Lake","description":"The Sepik River has been a pathway to the mountainous interior of Papua New Guinea since colonisation.

The sago palm is a cornerstone for life on the Sepik. Leaves are used to make roofs, the bark becomes floor and the inner trunk is dug out and processed by hand to make sak-sak, the staple of the Sepik diet. You will be treated to a demonstration of this work and may choose to roll your sleeves up and have a go. Alternatively, you may wish to go out on canoes with the women to check their nets for the overnight catch, helping in the smoking process of yesterday’s catch to preserve it.\r\nOver lunch, we’ll learn more about the systems of gifts and reciprocity between individuals, families and clans that underpins society and keeps the village at peace.\r\nIn the early afternoon we will board our dugout canoes for the final time, returning to Pagwi and then by road on to Wewak, where we check in once again to the Wewak Boutique Hotel for a relaxing evening.","lat":"-3.851468","lng":"144.535502"},{"title":"Day 7: Mount Hagen","name":"Mount Hagen","description":"After breakfast ,we’ll head to the airport for a flight to the welcoming cooler climes of the Western Highlands.

A bustling city attracting migrants from all over the country, it resembles something out of 1950’s Africa.\r\nWe’ll have lunch at Banz Cafe where you’ll be treated to the best cup of coffee in PNG. We will have the opportunity to tour the roasting facility and learn about the Highlands’ most profitable cash crop.\r\nArcadia Exclusive After lunch, we visit master axe makers, who still handmake the tools in the fashion handed down to them through the generations. Stone axes have been a daily part of village life in the highlands for hundreds of years and are the trademark of the Tuman people, who have used them as a bartering and economic tool with neighbouring tribes.","lat":"-5.858188","lng":"144.242934"},{"title":"Day 8: Mount Hagen","name":"Mount Hagen","description":"This morning we rise early for some birding with one of PNG’s pre-eminent bird experts.

Over 116 hectares of swamp and 1500 metres above sea level, excavations of Kuk Swamp reveal it has been worked almost continuously for over 9000 years, making PNG one of the original, independent cradles of agriculture anywhere in the world.

Located deep in the remote mountainous jungles of the Southern Highlands, the Huli are a proud, flamboyant tribe known for their ornate ceremonial ‘wigs’ with dances and songs fashioned on that of the mating rituals of Birds of Paradise.\r\nThe Tari Valley is one of PNG’s best bird watching spots and after lunch, we head out on a birding excursion. Birds of Paradise feathers, which are used by many tribes in their elaborate traditional ceremonial dress, have historically been important items of trade between local tribes. From 1905 to 1920, 30,000–80,000 Bird of Paradise skins were exported annually to the feather auctions of London, Paris, and Amsterdam. This demand for Bird of Paradise plumes inspired Malay, Chinese, and Australian hunters to seek their fortunes in New Guinea’s rainforests. Today, Birds of Paradise are an important part of PNG’s tourist economy. For many ardent birdwatchers from around the world, laying eyes on the incomparable Birds of Paradise is considered the ultimate and we hope to see these breathtaking birds during our guided walk.","lat":"-5.852511","lng":"142.952152"},{"title":"Day 10: Tari Valley","name":"Tari","description":"Arcadia Exclusive This morning our group will be collected early by private vehicle and head to a remote village where we experience one of the highlights of the expedition – spending an immersive day with the Huli Wigmen. Although the Huli Wigmen are undeniably one of the most recognisable tribes in the world, they are one of the least visited. The village we will be attending is not one usually visited by tourists and hence they are very excited to host our group.\r\nThe Huli are one of the largest cultural groups in Papua New Guinea and the second largest single language group, occupying fertile valleys and steep ridges between 1200m and 2800m above sea level in the rugged highlands. They expanded their territories in the past through skilled negotiation, trade, and war, and have supported expansion through complex systems of agriculture and forest management. Ritual knowledge of clan ancestors, genealogies, and origin myths are necessary to maintaining the fabric of Huli society and manifests in elaborate cult-like bachelor initiation ceremonies. During these ceremonies, young men are taught this ritual knowledge and grow out their hair to create wigs to be used in later ceremonies. Contact with Huli was only made by the colonial state in 1934.\r\nWe spend our time with the villagers, learning about the intricacies of their culture, including how chiefs obtain power through their ability to amass pigs and Kina shells. Huli trade items include rare bird feathers, stone goods and axes and rare shells traded all the way into the highlands from the coast.\r\nLunch will be a traditional Highlands Mumu with pigs and vegetables cooked in the ground using hot rocks, and we will also be treated to a spectacular Huli sing-sing with the proud locals in full regalia.","lat":"-5.852511","lng":"142.952152"},{"title":"Day 11: Tari Valley to Port Moresby","name":"Tari","description":"This morning we take a flight to Port Moresby where we check in once more to the welcoming surrounds of the Airways Hotel.\r\nThis afternoon is completely free to relax by the pool, allowing time to recharge the batteries and reflect on the expedition so far.","lat":"-5.852511","lng":"142.952152"},{"title":"Day 11: Tari Valley to Port Moresby","name":"Port Moresby","description":"This morning we take a flight to Port Moresby where we check in once more to the welcoming surrounds of the Airways Hotel.\r\nThis afternoon is completely free to relax by the pool, allowing time to recharge the batteries and reflect on the expedition so far.","lat":"-9.4438","lng":"147.180267"},{"title":"Day 12: Milne Bay","name":"Alotau","description":"On the eastern tip of PNG, the Owen Stanley Range dips into the Coral Sea with idyllic tropical islands scattering in every direction for miles around.
