Arfak
The Arfak Mountains are a mountain range in the northeast of the Bird's Head Peninsula of the Indonesian province of West Papua, located near the town of Manokwari. It is a remote and rugged mountain range with fairly steep slopes. The highest peaks are the Mebo (2940 meters) and Umsini (2926 meters). The mountain range consists of basalt and tuff with secondary andesites.
The Arfak Mountains are a birdwatcher's paradise. You will find, among other things, several species of birds of paradise. With some luck, you will see the Western performing his "Paper Parasol" dance...
