The country is made up of a cluster of 600 islands that stretch in one long string along southeastern Asia. These islands are filled with wonderful natural surroundings that include jungles, water and amazing wildlife. Because of this vast offering and sprawling layout, Papua New Guinea is known for its tribal diversity, with some 700 languages being spoken there. While some may believe this overwhelming amount of diversity can be too much, it instead offers one of the most unique opportunities for visitors to examine the amazing culture of the country.
