Its exotic beaches with fine white sand and tropical trees attract millions of tourists each year. Indonesia consists of splendid settings, including mountains, large forests, national parks, unique animals and many islands to choose from.

Furthermore, the Dani tribe inhabits Baileem Valley, the Taraja people have their own architecture in Tana Toraja and in Papua, the Asmat Tribe used to be a cannibal community.
