Dili — 5 nights

When East Timor declared itself independent from Indonesia in 2002, the small town of Dili took center stage as the nation's capital.
Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Cemetery of Santa Cruz and Immaculate Conception Cathedral. Step out of Dili with an excursion to Old Ai Pelo Prison in Liquica--about 48 minutes away. And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at The Archives & Museum of East Timorese Resistance, look for all kinds of wild species at Tasitolu, discover the deep blue sea with Aquatica Dive Resort, and take an in-depth tour of Chega! Exhibition.

Rugged beaches lure many to take their holiday in East Timor, a former Portuguese colony that gained its independence in 2002 after a brutal occupation by Indonesia. With pristine reefs, steep mountains, mysterious jungle caves, and misty hillside villages, the country represents one of Asia's most charming destinations, where it's still possible to have an off-the-beaten-track adventure. Many choose to tour East Timor by car, stopping at various locations to snap photos, dive into the sea, and mingle with the locals at quaint settlements preserving age-old traditions lost to the rest of the world. Those preferring urban experiences concentrate on Dili, the ultra-relaxed capital with access to both sea and mountains.
