East Timor Vacation Guide
While it is no longer the world's newest nation, East Timor remains one of the most fascinating. With such a tortured past, the smiles you see on the Timorese everywhere you go attest to the hopes and aspirations this young nation holds.
East Timor, or Timor Leste as it is officially known, lies on the eastern half of the island of Timor, plus a small enclave in the western half of the island. Dili, the capital city, lies on the northern coast.
Although the nation is small, it is not exactly easy to get around. While it is recognized that tourism is an important industry, the country is classified by the UN as an LDC (least developed country), and as such, simply does not have the resources to properly invest in infrastructure. Those with time and patience, however, will be rewarded with beautiful rugged mountain scenary, long stretches of desserted sandy beaches, and spectacular corals for snorkelling and diving.
