The Mummy , Jiwika , Wamena
Jiwika (pronounced Yiwika) is a local administrative centre and home to the celebrated Wimontok Mabel mummy. The mummy is kept at the tiny settlement of Sumpaima, 400m north along the main road from the main Jiwika village entrance (look for the faded blue ‘Mumi’ sign). Wimontok Mabel was a powerful 18th-century chief here and his blackened corpse is the best preserved and most accessible of its kind near Wamena. You may be asked anything from 30,000Rp to 70,000Rp per person for a viewing and possibly more for photos; bargaining is possible!
Anemangi, just behind Sumpaima, and Obia (Isinapma) to the south of Jiwika, are among villages where traditional Dani pig feasts and colourful warrior dances based on ritual warfare can be staged for tourists, if requested a day or two ahead. A typical price for both for a couple of tourists (and one smallish pig) is 3,000,000Rp. A warrior dance alone is about 1,000,000Rp.
At Iluwe, 1½ hours up a steep path from Jiwika, is Air Garam, a group of saltwater wells. Villagers soak sections of banana trunk in the water, then dry and burn them and use the resulting ashes as salt. Village boys will show you the way for around 25,000Rp, but to see the process at work, try to find a woman who will accompany you from Jiwika (50,000Rp). To avoid climbing in the midday heat, start from Jiwika before 10am.
The road north from Jiwika is flanked by rocky hills with several caves. Gua Kotilola is a sizeable cavern up a short, pretty path behind a Dani compound, about 5km north of Jiwika. It contains the bones of past tribal-war victims – though they don’t show these to outsiders.
Opposite the Jiwika village entrance, Lauk INN has a few basic, tolerably clean rooms around a small garden, with their own mandis. Lunch or dinner costs 50,000Rp. If you're staying overnight at Jiwika, report to the roadside police station 500m south.

Searching for cannibals in Papua, (Baliem river, Wamena, Indonesia vlog)
Are there still or are there not cannibals in Papua New Guinea? In order to explore the deep jungles of the earth's second biggest island you need lots of time and resources. The easiest way, but still of the beaten path is to travel to the isolated town of Wamena, on the river Baliem, in the indonseian half of the island.
Searching for canibals in Papua, (Baliem river, Wamena, Indonesia vlog)
Getting to Wamena is possible only by plane from Jayapura.
Airport means good old crowded indonesian style and plane means in most of the cases little propeller aircrafts. Basically like a flying bus, still more comfortable then the next vehicle you will be travelling with: the 3 wheeled BECAK with 1 ManPower!
First thing you have to do is getting your travel permit (SURAT JALAN) for exploring the area.
For start, we joined Jörn, an very cool friend from Germany for a day trip to the norther Baliem valley. Contilola Caves were the first on the list and luckily you can hitchike the few kilometres of tarred road outside Wamena.
From the caves we want to go see the mummy of Wo'ogi. The trek was an adventure itself. 2 papuan kids took their role as guides very seriously.
Wo'ogi didn't meet our expectations at all. No cannibals and no mummy. In fact everything is more modern than expected, excepting the lack of electricity, roads, cell phone coverage or people speaking any foreign language.
The only chance for us to see a smoked corpse of a 300-year old chieftain nicknamed mummy and used as a source of income for the locals was the village of Jiwika. It's a rip-off!
Next day the big adventure begins. This time we leave Wamena by BEMO. The southern Baliem Valley is the ultimate place do treks form 2 days to 2 weeks to visit remote villages of the Dani and Yali tribes, farther and further away from the civilised world. 50 years ago many Dani were still living in Stone Age conditions and even practicing cannibalism.
Wamena is isolated from the rest of the island and outside the town the road ends for good at Kurima, from where you are free to choose your route to walk further.
It can be very costy if you will hire a guide/cook/porter beginning from 100 USD for a day BUT don't let yourself be talked into it. Hard, but you can manage to get alone by yourself. Carry some food, a good map or a navigation app and for god's sake, learn some indonesian words!
Jörn joins us just for a few hours, then he returns to Wamena.
We decided to stay overnight in the village of Hitugi, far enough from civilization. Our host is a 13-years old boy, Andy, whos parents are gone in a big city for work.
The toilet looks very inviting, the shower is 100% natural and the kitchen is a hut with hay on the floor with a hole where the fire burns.
The next day Andy and his friend want to be our guides upriver to Yuarima, the most remote place we will be.
As further you go from Wamena, the less traces of civilisation you will see. If you can afford the thousands of dollars for a 4 week expedition, you can even find tribes that live in treehouses, having very little contact with the outside world.
It's about time to get back to Wamena. Some of you would have died all those days without phone, electricity, eating only sweet potatoes , drinking boiled water from the river and sleeping on the floor with mice visiting during the night.
Right away to our next adventure- let us introduce Alex to you all.
Cruel and unique: the members of the Dani tribe cut off their fingers as a way of displaying their grief at the deaths of relatives.
Near Wamena you can also find well-preserved traditional villages
Bottom line- in Papua there's all about Koteka.
Oh my, lots of locals have their mouth coloured in red. But even they are not canibals. It's from chewing the cancer-causing Betel Nut.
So, are there still canibals hidden in the dark jungle of Papua NewGuinea? Maybe. But, are you sure you want to meet them?

The island has been known by various names.
The name Papua was used to refer to parts of the island before contact with the West.[1] Its etymology is unclear;[1] one theory is that it is from Tidore, the language used by the Sultanate of Tidore, which controlled parts of the island's coastal region.[2] The name came from papo (to unite) and ua (negation), which means not united or, territory that geographically is far away (and thus not united).
Ploeg reports that the word papua is often said to derive from the Malay word papua or pua-pua, meaning 'frizzly-haired', referring to the highly curly hair of the inhabitants of these areas.[3] Another possibility, (put forward by Sollewijn Gelpke in 1993) is that it comes from the Biak phrase sup i papwa which means 'the land below [the sunset]' and refers to the islands west of the Bird's Head, as far as Halmahera. Whatever the origin of the name Papua, it came to be associated with this area, and more especially with Halmahera, which was known to the Portuguese by this name during the era of their colonisation in this part of the world.
When the Spanish and Portuguese explorers arrived in the island via the Spice Islands, they also referred to the island as Papua.[2] However, the name New Guinea would later be used by Westerners starting with the Spanish explorer Íñigo Ortíz de Retes in 1545, referring to the similarities of the indigenous people's appearance with the natives of the Guinea region of Africa.[2] The Dutch, who arrived later under Lemaire and Schouten, called it Schouten island, but later this name is used only to refer to islands to the north of the coast of Papua proper, the Schouten Islands or Biak Island. When the Dutch colonized it as part of Netherlands East Indies, they called it Nieuw Guinea.[2]
The name Irian was used in the Indonesian language to refer the island and Indonesian province, as Irian Jaya province. The name was promoted in 1945 by Marcus Kaisiepo,[1] brother of the future governor Frans Kaisiepo. It is taken from the Biak language of Biak Island, and means to rise, or rising spirit. This name of Irian is the name used in the Biak language and other languages such as Serui, Merauke and Waropen languages.[2] The name was used until 2001, when the name Papua was again used for the island and the province. The name Irian, which was originally favored by natives, is now considered to be a name imposed by the authority of Jakarta

Mummy Village - New Guinea
Mummification is an important part of the Dani culture, the mummified body of someone important, an elder, a wise man, a chief or a great warrior, has the ability to the link the Dani´s to their past, their ancestors and their spirits. Traditions are still an important part of the village community and give them a sense of belonging, identity and belief. Most villages consist of extended families, of which the mummy is perceived to be the eldest and will bring identity and ancestral sprits to the community.
As part of the preservation process, the dead body is hung from the ceiling over an open, slow burning fire in a special hut. The process of smoking the body takes two years. Before hanging the body, it must be drained of blood. For some odd reason, the men who are preparing the body are not allowed to eat anything but sweet potatoes and a sauce made of ginger, for the duration. When the process is complete and the body mummified, a big party is held and many pigs are slaughtered. Our mummy friends name is “Wimontok Marbe”, he was a famous warrior who lived some two hundred and fifty years ago. It’s fascinating to note that his dress and ornamentation are the same as his great-great-great-grandchildren are wearing today! Nothing has changed in the last two hundred and fifty years, whereas fashions change in the Western world at least twice a year. So, who has their shit together, them or us?
Baliem Valley, Papua, Indonesia
Western part of New Guinea island is incredible place. Beautiful landscapes, jungle, forest, and traditional culture. There are still a lot of indigenous tribes. The most accessible place is Baliem Valley at Papua province (formerly called Irian Jaya), Indonesia. Dani tribe is tribe of Baliem Valley. To see local tradition is quite difficult now lot of local people are Christians now. Once a year local government organizes Baliem Valley Festival where Dani people shows their culture. It's nice to make some trekking too and to visit Akima and Jiwika villages to see old mummies.

Dani dancing in Baliem Valley - West Papua , Footage - HD
The Dani people, also spelled Ndani, and sometimes conflated with the Lani group to the west, are a people from the central highlands of western New Guinea (the Indonesian province of Papua).
They are one of the most populous tribes in the highlands, and are found spread out through the highlands. The Dani are one of the most well-known ethnic groups in Papua, due to the relatively numerous tourists who visit the Baliem Valley area where they predominate. Ndani is the name given to the Baliem Valley people by the Moni people, and, while they don't call themselves Dani, they have been known as such since the 1926 Smithsonian Institution-Dutch Colonial Government expedition to New Guinea under Matthew Stirling who visited the Moni.

The Dani people, a so-called 'stone age' tribe that survived into the twenty-first century, live in the Baliem Valley (also spelled Balim Valley, and sometimes known as the Grand Valley) of the highlands of Papua province (Indonesia), western New Guinea. The Baliem Valley is a tableland 1600 m above sea level in the midst of the central mountain range.
