Natural Engineering Foot Bridges in The Jungles of Hela, PNG

In a location so remote, you will be surprised to find amazing natural features, natural engineering foot bridges, animal species, village life with their traditions & mountain ranges.


You would locate this place at Ambua Lodge, located high on the mountains overlooking the valley of Tari in Hela Province, Papua New Guinea.

Authentic local woodwork, spacious views and an attention to detail are among your first impressions of this magical place.

The surrounding jungle woods are full of trails and waterfalls, complete with Tarzan-style foot bridges woven from nothing more than vines and small branches. 

If crossing the first deep crevasse over a rushing white-water stream hundreds of feet below doesn't give you a heart attack, you'll soon be thinking nothing of putting one foot in front of the other as you step carefully over these wonders of natural engineering bridge.

The birds of paradise are everywhere - you will be amazed to see several display areas where the males of the species perform intricately choreographed mating rituals featuring a plethora of ornate plumage and special songs to attract the ladies.


The variety of exotic orchids and butterflies are equally overwhelming. It's no wonder the Huli Wigmen emulate these colorfully extroverted natural beauties in their special ceremonies.

Hela Province is home to many species of orchids, butterflies and moths, insects and tropical plants. 

You are surrounded and overwhelmed by nature in this primitive environment. 


The sounds of birds singing and waterfalls rushing are never far away. 

The cool breezes and sunshine are often interrupted by brief rain showers which drench the forest and provide the many streams, rivers and waterfalls with abundant supply.
