You might want to stop by this municipality in the east on your way to Manatuto. White-sand beaches and coves border the gorgeous coastline, while imposing peaks such as Mount Matebian and Mount Ramelau may be found inland. There are Portuguese colonial houses here, as well as a vibrant market and a large municipal pool fed by clean spring water. The Venilale mountain retreat, which dates back to the colonial era, is also located within the municipality. Manatuto is also a fantastic starting point for a guided trip into Mundo Perdido, a mountain area with lush rainforest and abundant bird life. The owners of the guesthouse are also pleased to offer trips to limestone caverns and other sites of significance during the Timorese resistance, as well as cookery instruction in the surrounding hamlet.
