Lautém
The far eastern tip of East Timor, with a national park, white-sand beaches on Jaco Island and pristine coral waters.
Lautém lies at the easternmost end of Timor, with Lospalos as its capital. Nino Konis Santana National Park covers forest, lakes and marine areas, while Jaco Island, near Tutuala, is known for its white sand and clear water and is one of East Timor's most popular natural attractions. The area also has traditional stilt houses and rock art sites. The dry season, roughly May–November, is the better time to go. Access is mainly by road east from Dili via Baucau; the drive is long and road conditions are fair.
