Porgera Travel Guide
Papua New Guinea
Porgera is a small inland settlement in the highlands of Papua New Guinea, with a population of 1,578. Its elevated location gives it a cooler climate than the country's coastal areas, with wet and drier periods through the year.
Travellers arriving by air use Porgera Airport (RGE). There are no notable beaches within 40 kilometres, so Porgera is not a base for a coastal holiday.
