Sprouting out of Timor Island's eastern flank is Timor-Leste. A small country hardly known and rarely visited. Though it's only been a country since 2002, Timor-Leste's history goes back much further. 42,000-year-old archaeological remains have been found in the region, indicating a connection between people and places older than any civilization today. The land itself exudes tropical paradise vibes. Clear ocean water and mighty green mountains sandwich scenic coastlines. Scattered among the scenery are relics from ancient tombs to World War II monuments. Far and unknown, friendly and beautiful, Timor-Leste represents all that is great about travel.
Our tour will take you to all the must-see Timorese sights. You will start in the capital Dili, and learn about the decades long resistance and fight for independence before driving along the north-to-east coastline road. Portugal colonized the country for over two decades, and remnants of Portuguese influence remain, such as the old Portuguese church in Laleia you will explore. Then there's Venilale, a town rich in local and world history. The Quinta Portugal coffee nursery plantation, climbing Mt Ramelau, visiting Fatisi Waterfall—just a few more things you can expect on this tour.
