This city in Indonesia's Papua province is a popular starting point for travellers looking to explore the vast natural landscapes of Papua's interior. As Lake Sentani awaits within, the visual majesty begins here, with Yos Sudarso Bay and the surrounding terrain best enjoyed from Jayapura City Hill. Welcoming of regional ethnicities and prizing education, Jayapura gives you a glimpse of Papua culture and cuisine before the full experience at Baliem Valley.
