“they’re just guys in masks”... hear me out. Yes, these performances in the Papua New Guinea Highlands are put on for tourists, but it is 100% their REAL culture they are sharing with you. Think of it like this: Scottish people don’t wear kilts every single day, right? In the same way, the Asaro Mudmen traditionally only wore these mud outfits and clay masks during wartime. The whole point was to look terrifying and intimidate their enemies in battle. So don’t be confused—if you visit PNG, you won’t find people just walking down the street dressed like this. contact tribesofpapuanewguinea and they will put on an unforgettable cultural performance for you. #papuanewguinea #tribes #katiecaftravel #PNG #travelvlog
