Smiling, friendly people will welcome you to their country and all it has to offer. Timor-Leste (East Timor) richly rewards those who venture to its mountainous interior for trekking, hot springs, dense jungles and raging rivers. Getting there is a major part of the adventure, whether by vehicle, mountain bike, foot or even Timor pony however, it is well worth the effort.
Timor-Leste will delight visitors with its fascinating mix of history, culture and natural beauty.... Travellers visiting now will share in a unique and historical moment, experiencing a country that is stepping into a peaceful and democratic reality. JOSÉ RAMOS-HORTA, President of the Republic Timor-Leste
