Setting out to sea<\/p>\n
Papua, the easternmost province in the country, is a unique land,
\nthe tropical island found at the highest altitude and blessed
\nwith magnificent biodiversity.<\/p>\n
Apart from its beautiful jungle, Papua is renowned for its
\nstunning shoreline. Just imagine a carpet of white sand, fringing
\na shimmering green sea.<\/p>\n
By day, sounds of the waves and winds mingle with the cheerful
\nhollering of children playing in the sand or on small boats.<\/p>\n
Their parents prepare to fish in the evening. When the sun
\ngoes down and darkness falls, it is time to set sail.<\/p>\n
