Our History
At the heart of the Papuan world<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n

Voyages en Papouasie is above all the story of Philippe Gigliotti’s encounter with a land that was to change his life. In 1996, he discovered Papua New Guinea in the company of his lifelong friend Marc Dozier, and it was obvious: Papua was to be his adopted country! Not a destination to be added to a catalog, but a country to be made his own. <\/p>\n\n

\n

“” I created this agency to give back to Papua some of the love it has given me. In 25 years, this country has built me up, welcomed me and offered me a humanity I never knew existed. Today, my desire is to share this happiness. I don’t just want to show you landscapes, I want to open doors for you, so that you in turn can receive this warmth that has changed my life.””<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philippe Gigliotti, Founder<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

1998: the Immersion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Between 1997 and 2004, Philippe returned to Papua every year for several-month stays, driven by a deep need to discover, understand and immerse himself in this land. Over the course of these long immersions in the villages, these committed treks and shared adventures, year after year, a network of solid links and infinite friendships is woven throughout the country. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

2004: The birth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2004, under the impetus of J\u00e9r\u00f4me Kotry (Tamera agency), Philippe began to put his expertise at the service of travelers. First, he set up a local logistics structure in Papua to master every detail in the field. Given the success of these expeditions and the growing demand for tailor-made trips, the “Voyages en Papouasie” agency was officially created in France in 2012. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
