If talking about Papua, there are many tourist attractions that you can explore here. One of them is Raja Ampat. You will likely be amazed by its natural beauty such as the islands, lakes, mountains, caves, and many more. But now, we will talk about the unique place in Papua that is Love Lake. Actually, the real name of this lake is Imfote Lake based on its location name, but many people often call this Love Lake due to the shape of this lake that resembles the heart shaped. To enjoy the beautiful shape, you have to see it from the hill that surrounds this lake. After enjoying the beauty, don’t forget to take your picture here.
