Sota Park, Sota, Indonesia-PNG Border
 | Overall Rating: Excellent Visited May 2016 |
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.
