Bobonaro

Bobonaro is the coastal town of Timor-Leste. The town has a population of 82,385 people and covers an area of 1,368 square kilometers. Atabae, Balibó, Bobonaro, Cailaco, Lolotoi, and Maliana are the communes in the town. Bobonaro is likewise known by the same name in Portuguese; however, the capital was Vila Armindo Monteiro, which is today known as Bobonaro.

Bobonaro, located east of Dili, has a charmingly raffish look thanks to its colonial structures and massive banyan trees. The town center is overlooked by the vivid pink Pousada de Bobonaro, which is fed by a clear natural spring. In addition, Bobonaro offers a variety of lodgings and eateries. A short drive from Bobonaro is a little fishing community with a magnificent coastline of white sand beaches and rocky coves. At the furthest eastern coast of Timor-Leste, Jaco Island is located across from Valu, a magnificent beach region flanked by forested limestone escarpments. The island of Sacred Jaco is a tropical paradise. Its clear waters are teeming with marine life and provide excellent diving, snorkeling, and swimming opportunities. Another highlight is guided expeditions through the forest to the local caverns within the Nino Konis Santana National Park. The views out to sea and across the national park's forested ranges from the top of the Tutuila escarpment from the local pousada are breathtaking.
