Visit Oro (Northern)

The Oro Province, also known as Northern Province, is located in the northern part of Papua New Guinea. It is a region made up of lush and diverse rainforests filled with tropical flora and fauna. Oro's capital is Popondetta, which lies on the northern coast and offers access to some of the province's beautiful beaches. The warm Pacific Ocean provides excellent fishing opportunities for tourists along with stunning views to be enjoyed from its beachfront areas.

One must-see spot while visiting Oro Province is the renowned Mount Lamington Volcano, an active volcano that last erupted in 1951 resulting in over 3 thousand deaths. A bit further south visitors can explore Lavongai Island where you can find hiking trails that wind through dense jungle terrain leading to hidden waterfalls and swimming holes surrounded by lush vegetation.

For those interested in history, visiting Kitava Island will provide insight into ancient cannibalistic rituals practiced by its inhabitants centuries ago before they were Christianized by missionaries in 1891.
