Goroka town is the bustling heart of the Eastern Highlands, where the aroma of fresh coffee mingles with the colors of bustling markets. Visitors can explore the Goroka Market, a vibrant maze of produce, bilum bags, and handcrafted artifacts, or tour nearby coffee plantations to see how the region's famous beans are grown and processed. The town's laid-back highland atmosphere, framed by misty mountains, offers a genuine glimpse into daily life in Papua New Guinea. It's also the gateway to the annual Goroka Show, a spectacular tribal gathering.
