INDONESIA-TOURISM-CULTURE-PAPUA
Hkg5065853TO GO WITH AFP STORY "INDONESIA-TOURISM-CULTURE-PAPUA,FEATURE" BY JEROME RIVET
This photo taken on June 20, 2011 shows Papuan tribesmen crowned with preserved plumes of Birds of Paradise feathers participating in the Lake Sentani festival located in Indonesia's eastern Papua province. For decades, the only foreign visitors to venture into Papua were gold-diggers, anthropologists, missionaries and soldiers fighting imperial wars. But the vast, western half of New Guinea island is slowly opening its doors to tourists as a "hidden paradise", a land of ancient tribal cultures, glittering reefs, soaring glaciers and teeming wildlife. The annual festival brings together thousands of people from 24 communities scattered around the huge lake. AFP PHOTO / ROMEO GACAD
