Little is known about Papua New Guinea. This country is close to Indonesia and has great natural wonders that are worth seeing and visiting. Its capital, Port Moresby, is also the largest city of this country. The city is located on the coastal/shore areas of Gulf of Papua. Here, the indigenous people are called Motu-Koitabu.
