Who hasn’t heard about Papua’s natural beauty? Papua Island is the world’s second biggest island, compared to Greenland in Australia. On the Papua map, Papua Island’s territory has two provinces: Papua Province and West Papua Province. It would be a pity if you missed out on this island’s many attractive and fascinating natural sites. The following are some distinctive tourist sites in Papua that you should investigate!
Uter Lake
Maybe you’ve been more popular all this time when you hear the names Lake Toba or Tiga Warna Lake. Despite the fact that Papua has a lake that is equally as chilly, Lake Uter.
On your Papua map, you can find this lake at Sris Village, Maybarat, West Papua. You can use private vehicles, such as motorcycles and automobiles, for the 1-hour trip from Kambuaya Airport. However, you must prepare to travel 100 meters to cross the narrow, well-kept streets.
Roti Island
If you’ve been to West Papua, you won’t get satisfaction till you visit Raja Ampat. The favorite location of a million people is a must-see for you.
You may enter Raja Ampat for roughly IDR 200,000–IDR 300,000 and then cruise to Waisai, the center of Raja Ampat Regency. There are other places that are ideal for diving, such as Roti Island. Because its form is akin to bread, this island is famous as Roti Island.
Pasir Timbul Island

If you wish to visit Pasir Timbul Island, you must cruise for 30 minutes in a rented motorboat in the Wasai region. When you arrive, you may enjoy the pure sea water and the white beach. Can you imagine its splendor?
Pianemo
Pianemo is one of the several coral clusters in Raja Ampat that you may visit. In this location, you may experience the beauty of coral islands of various sizes, which are then combined with blue sea water. Pianemo has a nickname as “Little Wagang” by locals because it is similar to Wayag Island, which is well-known across the world.
Idenberg Lake
Lake Idenberg is a strange lake in the Jayawijaya Mountains, more specifically near Cartenz Pyramid. Because the appearance of the lake water is essentially unstable, this lake is quite mysterious. It may contain a lot of water at times, yet it can also be completely dry at others.
You will need to work hard to get to this site because it is 4313 meters above sea level. As a result, you must be prepared to walk for around 2 hours. Lake Idenberg is also flanked by picturesque vertical granite cliffs, providing a snow-covered backdrop. Isn’t it cool?
Anggopi Beach
Aside from West Papua, you may also visit Papua Province to see other lovely tourist attractions. This location actually contains a number of hidden tourist attractions with breathtaking vistas.
Anggopi Beach is one of the natural sites that you may visit. This lovely beach is situated in the Oridek region of East Biak, in the Biak Numfor Regency. On this beach, you may swim, camp, and participate in a variety of water sports.
Cendrawasih Bay National Park
Water has submerged about 90 percent of the park’s 1,453,500 hectares. As a result, it is only natural that the Cendrawasih Bay National Park serves as Indonesia’s largest and most extensive marine protection area.
Under the water, there are as many as 209 different varieties of fish and 196 different types of mollusks. Other species that will follow you while diving include turtles, turtles, dolphins, and sharks.
