I arrived at this place, Skuow, the Indonesia and Papua New Guinea border 15 minutes before 4 PM. I regretted so much since I only had few time to enjoy the view from the top of the hill. So just remember to get here sooner. If you came here sooner, you can have a special permit to visit the town by the beach down below the hill on PNG land.

But even enjoying the view from the top of the hill was breath taking. The shore line of PNG beach from high land is also something to enjoy. This particular place to enjoy such view is on the land of a PNG villager’s home. All you have to do is pay IDR 10.000 (less than 1 USD) for every person and you can enjoy the scenery. They sell souvenir too, you should get some as a memorabilia like hats, bracelets, key rings, or even Kuna coins (Kuna is the PNG’s currency).

After you get back to Indonesia land, don’t forget to take pictures near the monuments, with light house as background, and also take pictures with Indonesian army who guard the border.

Musamus is the ants nest that can grow up to 5 meters tall. The ant colony build this nest bit by bit using the mud. You can take pictures near the nest, just don't disturb them or you might get sting. In Sota park, you can find many of this Musamus, and most of them are in the Papua New Guinea area. Just make sure that the army who guide the border knows that you are crossing the border.

Sota park itself is the place where Indonesia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) border is located. You can put each of your feet on two countries at the same time. Indonesia and PNG, because the border is only the longitude line of 141 degree 1' and 10" East. Don't forget yo bring your hat along, since this is the open space and when the sun high and no cloud around, the sun will not show its mercy.

You must visit the house of the police officer, Mr. Ma'ruf Suroto near the entrance to get your own certificate of attendance telling you that you have already visited the border of Indonesia-PNG. The certificate is free. Mr. Ma'ruf Suroto would keep the money you pay for charity.
