Visit Hela
The Hela of Papua New Guinea are an indigenous group who have been living in the region for centuries. They are known for their vibrant culture and traditional crafts, such as basket weaving and pottery making. The people of Hela are welcoming to visitors and offer a unique insight into the fascinating local traditions.
When visiting the region, tourists can visit Mount Hagen or Goroka which is home to some of the most beautiful scenery in Papua New Guinea. Within these towns there are many cultural events that take place such as sing-sing performances, traditional dance competitions, art exhibitions and more.
An interesting historical fact about the Hela people is that they were among the first to establish trade with outsiders; their trading network extended well beyond their immediate area giving them access to resources from other regions in PNG. This gave them a distinct advantage over other groups in the area when it came to acquiring goods and services.
