Papua New Guinea

Atlas World essential guide

The Atlas Lume view

More than eight hundred languages coexist in near-inaccessible mountain rainforest, making Papua New Guinea one of the planet culturally most diverse territories. Atlas Lume suggests reading Papua New Guinea through its landscapes, neighbourhoods, transport and living culture, with the context needed to plan with judgement rather than collect places.

Port Moresby works as a practical reference point, but every route should adapt to distances and season. The main language is English, Tok Pisin and Hiri Motu, the currency is Kina de Papúa Nueva Guinea and the generally recommended time to go is May to October. Always confirm entry requirements, conditions and services with official sources before travelling.

Always confirm visas, health requirements, timetables and transport conditions with official sources before travelling.
