Oecusse

Very few travelers visit this tranquil Timorese enclave, called Oecussi Ambeno, which is an overnight ferry trip west of Dili. Located on the north coast, It has a population of over 50,000 people and covers 27,000 square kilometers.

There are vast hiking areas to explore in this enclave, including caves. The mountains here are exceedingly abrupt, made primarily of cemented conglomerate rock in various states of weathering, and trekking in the region necessitates the use of more professional hiking gear.

With over 1,200 meters, Mt. Manoleu and Mt. Sapo are the tallest mountains in this region. The settlement of Kutet, located three hours south of Oecussi town and nestled beneath the main mountain peaks, is a good base for exploring the mountains, climbing to the summits, scaling some of the rock faces, and exploring the caves. It is definitely the best place you must to visit when traveling to Timor-Leste.
