Key Facts

Catubouw is a district (kecamatan) located within the Pegunungan Arfak Regency in the province of Papua Barat, Indonesia. Situated in the mountainous interior of the Bird's Head Peninsula, Catubouw lies within the rugged Arfak Mountains, known for their high peaks, dense tropical forests, and significant biodiversity. The district covers an area of approximately 450 square kilometers and has a population of around 8,000 people, primarily consisting of indigenous Arfak tribes who maintain traditional customs and livelihoods centered on agriculture, hunting, and forest resources. Catubouw is administratively divided into several villages (desa), including Catubouw, Testega, and Meyerga, which serve as local centers for governance and community activities. The region's challenging terrain and limited infrastructure mean that access is often difficult, with travel relying heavily on footpaths and occasional vehicle routes. As part of the broader effort to improve regional services, accessing postal code information for Catubouw's sub-districts and villages is essential for efficient mail delivery, administrative coordination, and local development initiatives.
