Korowai, Suku Yang Tinggal di Atas Pohon Hutan Belantara Papua

The Korowai tribe is a group of people who inhabit the Papuan wilderness, specifically in the regencies of Merauke, Asmat, Mappi, and Boven Digoel. The main attraction of this tribe is undoubtedly their homes. The Korowai people live in tree houses, which they call tall houses or xaim houses. 1 A xaim house is usually built atop a large tree, reaching a height of 15 to 50 meters. The Korowai people build their homes in treetops for a reason. These people build their homes in trees to protect themselves from wild animals and evil spirits.
