Jayawijaya

Feb 15th, 2010

The cool highlands and towering mountains of West Papua are trekkers’ paradise yet most are still largely unexplored.  Traversing dense tropical forests and keeping to steep mountain trails, meet the indigenous people of Papua in villages that few have ever been.  PhotobucketThe highest peak of Jayawijaya mountain range is 5500 meters high.  It is a favorite among local and foreign mountaineers as the reward is setting foot on the one and only snow-capped peak on the equator.
