Explore Timor-Leste on the least travelled road in Asia
Travel into a land relatively untouched by tourism, and one of the world's newest democracies, Timor-Leste. We climb mountains, explore villages, enjoy some holiday time on secluded beaches and cross into the Wetar Strait for a privileged view of the sights and sounds hidden in this emerging nation. With an emphasis on local communities, there will be ample opportunities to share in the lives of the locals and contribute to rebuilding efforts.

The second largest town in Timor-Leste, Baucau has many remnants of Portuguese administration and the more recent Indonesian occupation in the form of large houses, churches and other public buildings.
