Papua New Guinea in 5 ½ Days

July 1992. Discovering a Little-Known Country

Business partners in Australia had warned her: Papua New Guinea was no place for a woman travelling alone, and there was little of interest for tourists. But when a Swiss tour operator asked for a first-hand report, Gabriele Ruttloff-Bauer set out on 12 July 1992 to explore this little-known destination on their behalf. 

What began as a short, packed familiarisation tour soon became an unforgettable and fascinating encounter with the country and its people, in one of the world’s most extraordinary and diverse corners.
