Northern (ORO) Province

ORO PROVINCE BOASTS THE WORLD’S LARGEST BUTTERFLY, MAGNIFICENT FJORD-LIKE RIAS, AN ACTIVE VOLCANO AND A WELL-KNOWN WWII BATTLE-SITE.

The history of Oro Province is as dramatic as its landscapes. From the early gold rush days to the devastating Pacific campaign of World War II, followed by the deadly eruption of Mt Lamington not long thereafter, which forced the provincial capital to Popondetta, you’ll be moved by the rich history in this province.
