British Traveler Becomes First Tourist to Visit Papua New Guinea’s Remote Tribes

Daniel Pinto, a 27-year-old adventurer, spent three weeks living among ten indigenous tribes, immersing himself in their traditions and ceremonies.

Daniel Pinto, a British traveler on a mission to visit all 195 countries, has explored 138 nations so far, including Papua New Guinea in December 2024.
During his three-week stay, Pinto lived with ten tribes, including the Skeleton Tribe, Crocodile People, and Spirit Birds, who had never encountered tourists before.
He participated in tribal ceremonies, including a sacred waterfall ritual, a birth celebration, and a traditional wedding, which he described as a highlight of his journey.
Pinto faced safety challenges, such as avoiding road hijacking risks, opting for remote boat travel to reach the isolated tribal regions.
Known for visiting 'dangerous' destinations, Pinto described Papua New Guinea as 'the last frontier,' praising the tribes' hospitality and the uniqueness of their traditions.
