The literal meaning of Jayapura is the "city of victory." A short trip to Sentani Lake will allow visitors to observe daily local life and traditions as well as view some of the splendid scenery of the port. The Skyline Hills offer a sweeping view of Jayapura, and the monument to General MacArthur's World War II headquarters stands in the middle of this thriving city.
