Description: | Owing to its inaccessibility, both physically and politically, Irian Jaya is the only remaining place where civilized man can come into contact with the primitive world. Until now, no expedition had managed the march from the center of the country to the River Mamberamo, which hides its secrets from the white world. This is the dream for all explorers and adventure seekers. It was here that two friends entered an unknown jungle on a march a thousand kilometers long. They were looking for the most primitive tribes, in order to help us remember and learn how we used to live in harmony with nature. What awaited them was a journey full of hardship lasting a matter of several weeks. It led through the forbidden inland territory of New Guinea, in order to lift the veil of secrecy from this virgin river. They struggled with the snares of the jungle, malaria, hunger and with themselves, in order to find the real treasures. These are with respect for people and a sense of humility in relation to the world and to themselves. |
