Timor-Leste
With hardly-touched 'best-in-the-world' reefs to dive, dugongs to spot, mountains to climb, and ancient traditions that have survived the ravages of war, Asia’s newest country offers some of the world’s last great off-the-beaten-track adventures.

Sites are signposted off the Tutuala to Jaco road. It's best practice to go with a guide (organise through Valu accommodation): expect to...

Dare Memorial Museum
Dili
　　There are two great things about Dare (pronounced da-ray) Memorial Museum, but you'll have to ask for them. First, ask for a cup of Timorese coffee, then to watch the excellent video documenting Timor-Leste's involvement in WWII including the Timorese who helped Australian troops before being left to face the...
Areia Branca
Dili
　　This lovely cove 5.5km east of central Dili is picturesque, with its white sand backed by steep hills and good places to eat and sleep. At the end of the beach, the statue of Cristo Rei is a local landmark. On the other side of it is another excellent, quieter...
Cristo Rei
Dili
　　The hard-to-miss Cristo Rei, 7km east of town, has 570 steps leading to the statue of Jesus, a gift from the Indonesian government in 1996. It's a popular morning and evening exercise spot, with mountain and water views. Catch blue mikrolet No 12 or a taxi (US$5) to get here...

Resistência Timorense Arquivo e Museu
Dili
　　An excellent museum which commemorates in detail Timor-Leste's 24-year struggle against Indonesian occupation. Falintil’s resistance is brought to life with a timeline, photos, video recordings and exhibits of the weapons and tools of communication that the East Timorese used in their fight for independence. You can watch harrowing footage of...
Centro Nacional Chega!
Dili
　　Set in the buildings and cells of a Portuguese-era prison where resistance figures were interned by the Indonesian military, Chega!

　　Crashing through foliage under the squawks of bats and lorikeets as you climb Mundo Perdido (1775m) – which translates to 'Lost World' – is one of the country's highlights. The view of sunrise from the grassy plateau near the top (1380m) is worth the 4am wake-up call. Local guide Xisto...
