ANNOUNCEMENTS

Gays I will use one of the regional names in the province of Papua, before I continue the story I want to introduce or give a little information about the city of wamena.

"a little explanation about wamena"

"describe the condition of the people of Wamena, a small interesting city found in the Baliem valley, Papua. The actual condition of the community is very different from urban society in general makes them impressed “mata duitan”, when in fact it is not. The agricultural and tourism sector has actually become their main income, only not too synergized with the government's program. They just need more attention, given the natural conditions that are enough to make them have to survive quite hard.

The city of Wamena is located in the central mountainous region of Papua. This small town is in the middle of a very fertile valley 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 regency and oversees about 7 districts spread throughout the Baliem Valley region and reportedly will still be expanded again. The geographical condition of Wamena is actually quite challenging because it is in a large valley surrounded by hills and is 1600 meters above sea level. The air here is quite cool, but if the hot daylight is still unavoidable.

Natural conditions like this are a challenge for the people of Wamena and its surroundings. This is felt especially in terms of daily necessities items that are quite rare and difficult to meet. If anything, it would be very expensive. The natural conditions of Wamena make the distribution of these goods must use air transportation routes. No wonder if the prices in Wamena are also famous for being expensive when compared to other cities in Papua.

However, the cost of Wamena is not a barrier for tourists to enjoy the beauty of the Baliem Valley. Wamena which means Babi Jinak in the local language also has a tremendous charm for tourists in and outside Indonesia. Wamena is known to excel both in the categories of attractions, traditions, arts, and culinary. These advantages are very different and valuable, especially when compared to other regions of Papua.

The main thing that should not be missed when visiting Wamena is to witness a large tribe in Papua. The life of the Dani tribe is something interesting to learn and witness during a visit to Wamena. They have a very unique dance and tradition of war and will never be forgotten throughout life. In addition, the Chieftain Mummy can also be an interesting choice to witness.

Not only the life of the tribes and traditions are unique, nature around Wamena also has its own beauty that deserves thumbs up. The beautiful Baliem river, the hills around the valley, the peculiarities of white sand and salt water source, the longest cave in the world, even a variety of flora-fauna that does not exist elsewhere will be some special menu when we enjoy the nature of the Baliem Valley.

Then, when we talk about culinary, Wamena has a special menu that only this place has. Cheating Shrimp that is so famous among travelers should be a target to taste when we visit Wamena. A type of giant freshwater shrimp with a claw as big as a crab may only be enjoyed in Wamena. It will feel more unique if we also explore the hunt with local people on the Baliem river.

Wamena still holds many more charms. The condition of prices that are so expensive actually will not be comparable if we remember the various natural advantages and traditions of Wamena. The problem is not in the high price, but how we make a change in the way of thinking in the local community so that it is no longer oriented to money, but the quality of life of human resources. All for the sake of keeping Wamena to remain a prima donna on the earth Black Pearl of Papua.
