Drink in Baliem Valley
Water upstream are cool and appear to be safe to drink.
While this is true for natural springs that dot the countryside, anyone venturing into the backcountry should bring a backpacker's water filter and/or be prepared to boil water.
Wamena city water is NOT safe to drink unless boiled and filtered. Hotels and restaurants typically provide boiled and filtered water, and offer bottled water as a reasonable price. There are a number of local purification facilities that produce bottled water, generally available in 1/2 liter to 20 liter sizes.
Note that alcohol (in any form) is illegal and simply is NOT available in the Baliem Valley.
