Welcome to Southern - Top Attractions and Local Culture
With the second vastest rainforest on Earth, extensive wetlands, a myriad of lakes, freshwater swamps, river deltas, savanna grasslands and the worlds largest mangrove forests in the world, the Gulf Province is the least accessible and the least visited part of Papua New Guinea. It is a territory where humans have adapted to the climate conditions - the villages are built on piles high above the water, and the only means of transport is the rowing boat.
Nevertheless, the Southern Lowlands are paradise for botanists and zoologists, for it is right here where one can enjoy the best bird watching, jungle trekking and eco-tours in the whole country. There are numerous expeditions which can be arranged in Port Moresby. The swampy southern shores are fringed by stilt villages; the unpredictable climate conditions frequently force them to move their homes around.
