Daytour to Wamena und
surrounding:
In the morning drive from the resort to the big native market in front of the
town. Here you can meet hundreds of Dani who sell their agrarian products every day.
Traditional arts and crafts like stoneaxes, grassnets, arrows and bows are sold
too. Drive to the local market near the Wamena bridge. Again many interesting photo
motives. Visit to the water power station at the upper course of the beautiful
Wamena-River. Here we have lunch break surrounded by wonderful nature. Drive
on to the powerful Baliem-River near Wesaput, where a big suspension bridge has
to be crossed due to the traditional Dani hamlets on the other side of the river that
we want to visit. Before we drive back to the Resort you have the possibility to make some small purchases in Wamena.

Kurulu-Mummy, traditional Dani hamlet:
In the morning one hour drive to Jiwika in the central Baliem-Valley. Start of an one hour long walking-tour uphill (about 300 heightmeters)
trough a beautiful mountain-rainforest to the traditional saltspring of a Dani clan. Native women in traditional costumes accompany us. They will
demonstrate the old technics of the salt production. After the relegation we have lunch on the mountains base. After
lunch we walk to the close Kurulu hamlet, where a very old mummy of the famous Dugum clan can be admired. Afterwards the women show us how the brought brine is

Daytour trekking southern Baliem
Gorge:
In the morning we drive to the southern Baliem-Valley. The road ends in a village called Sogogmo, about 3 km before Kurima. Our walking tour
along the powerful Baliem-River begins here. First of all a suspension bridge has to be crossed. After that the tour goes on through romantic
Dani settlements with terraced fields and wild groves of sugar-cane . All the time we have a wonderful view over the river and the narrow
valley. In the early afternoon we reach the church of Seinma where we have lunch surrounded by a beautiful landscape. Before we reach Kurima a
suspension bridge has to be crossed again. And before we reach our bus some small side valleys have to be passed. Today one will find a lot of
unique photo motives. In the late afternoon we reach the Resort.

Daytour traditional pig cooking
party:
All day long traditional “pig-festival” in an old Dani-hamlet within the Resorts´ area or in the Jiwika region. Many dressed up clan members in
traditional costumes celebrate the party with us. A “pig-festival” with the hot stones and the earth pits is probably the most interesting thing to
see on a travel to Irian Jaya. Photographers and movie makers will totally be satisfied to day. The unique of such an event can hardly be
described by words. You have to see it with your own eyes. Lunch will be inside the
hamlet. Of course there is also the opportunity for each
guest to eat out of the traditional earth pit. The fresh pig meat and the sweet potatoes taste
delicious. Back to the Resort in the late afternoon.

Assologaima region. With our bus and the big raft we can drive to the
bank. Start of our voyage downstream until we reach the suspension bridge of
Wesaput. The
comfortable voyage passes beautiful fertile-woods and wild groves of sugar
cane. All the time we see old, hidden Dani-hamlets in the shadows of big acacia-trees
next to the river. We observe how Dani-women wash the sweet potaoes and
sometimes we meet natives on their traditional one-tree-boats. In the afternoon we reach the
suspension bridge of Wesaput where our car is waiting for us. We drive back to the
Resort, after our raft is savely tied on the cars´ roof.
