    With the central 14,000+ foot (4400-m) mountain ranges dividing Papua New Guinea into northern and southern zones, at least 60% of the northern half of the country is drained by the Sepik River. Located only about 3 degrees south of the equator, and catching the moisture off the Pacific Ocean, the rainforest in this part of PNG is the largest intact one in the world outside of the Amazon basin.

    The sinuous nature of the river and its many tributaries, combined with the rainforest in this isolated part of the island of New Guinea has led to many unique tribal cultures, each living in its own little world for centuries. Angoram is the major town located along the Sepik River 'highway' to these outposts deeper inland. While I was in PNG, there were multi-night tourist cruises from Madang, just down the coast to the east, which would take passengers into this exotic destination, while still enjoying all the comforts of home. I am not sure if those cruises presently exist, but it is still possible to take boat tours while inland on the Sepik itself.
