Dinner

After breakfast this morning, depart the hotel at 8 am and make your way to a nearby village. Experience a cultural show put on by the Asaro mud men, who are famous for their eerie ceremonial masks and clay-like body paint. According to legend, the tribesmen were once defeated by an enemy clan and forced to hide in the nearby Asaro River. When they emerged covered in the clay, the enemy were scared off by their ghost-like appearance. The mud men adopted the intimidating costuming for subsequent battles.

While in the village, witness a fire-making ceremony, learn the art of fire-making and enjoy a traditional mumu lunch cooked in an earthen pit. Afterwards, take a trip around Goroka with your leader. Get a dose of history at the JK McCarthy Museum, discover how beans are processed at a coffee factory, browse the colourful produce stalls at a local village market, and visit Goroka’s RaunRaun Theatre.

INCLUDED ACTIVITIES

Goroka – Goroka Show (3 days)

MEALS INCLUDED

Breakfast, lunch and dinner

Welcome to the annual Goroka Show – Papua New Guinea’s biggest singsing and one of the most important events of the year. Over 100 tribes from around the country come together in a colourful, feather-fuelled celebration of culture, ritual, song and dance. The show originated in 1957, when a group of Australian patrol officers – known locally as ‘kiaps’ – invited tribes in their areas to gather in song and dance.

After your local guide has shown you around the show grounds, you’ll be free to wander from performance to performance in your own time.
