Wamena - Earth black pearls.

Hello Steemit *

The city of Wamena is located in the central highlands of Papua. This small town is in the middle of a valley that is very fertile and quite famous in Papua, the Baliem Valley. Wamena is actually a district town, part of Jayawijaya Regency. However, in recent years, the city has become a district and oversees about 7 districts scattered throughout the Baliem Valley and is rumored to be reproduced.

Wamena's geographical condition is actually quite challenging because it is in a large valley surrounded by hills and is located 1600 meters above sea level. The air here is quite cool, but when the heat of the day is hot even still can not be avoided. Natural conditions like this is a challenge for the citizens of Wamena and surrounding areas. This is felt especially in the case of daily necessities that are quite rare and hard to find. If there is any, surely the price is very expensive.

Wamena natural conditions make the distribution of these goods must use air transportation. Not surprisingly, the prices in Wamena are also notoriously expensive when compared with other cities in Papua. However, Wamena affordability is not a barrier for tourists to enjoy the beauty of the Baliem Valley. Wamena which means Pig Jinak in this local language also has a tremendous charm for the tourists inside and outside Indonesia. Wamena is well known in the category of tourism, tradition, art, and culinary. These advantages are very different and valuable, especially when compared to other parts of Papua. The main thing that should not be missed while visiting Wamena is to witness a large tribe in Papua. The life of the Dani tribe is something interesting to learn and watch while visiting Wamena.

They have a dance and tradition of war that is very unique and will never be forgotten throughout life. In addition, Tribal Mummy can be an interesting pilhan to watch. Not only the life of tribes and traditions are unique, the nature around Wamena also has its own beauty that deserves thumbs up. The beauty of the Baliem River, the hills around the valley, the strangeness of white sand and the source of salt water, the longest cave in the world, even the various flora-fauna that is not elsewhere will be some special menus as we enjoy the nature of the Baliem Valley. Then, when we talk about culinary, Wamena has a special menu that only belongs to this place. Shrimp Affair is so famous among the travelers should be a target to be tasted when we visit to Wamena.

A kind of giant freshwater shrimp with crab claws may only be enjoyed in Wamena. It will be more unique if we also explore the hunt with local people in the river Baliem. Wamena still holds many more charms. The condition of the price is so expensive actually would not be comparable if we remember the various advantages of nature and tradition owned by Wamena. The problem is not really in high prices, but how do we make changes to the way local people think so no longer oriented to money, but the quality of life of human resources. All in order to keep Wamena to remain a prima donna on the earth Pearl Papuan Papua.
