About This Experience
Timor-Leste's Highlands are a world apart. Whilst the roads are a little rougher the temperatures are distinctly cooler, and you will get to see parts of the country not many visitors do. Bring your powerbank — you will be taking more than a few photos as you venture through the geographic heart of the nation. This five-day tour combines a Dili city tour, the historic Balibo Fort, and the stunning highland villages of Maubisse.

I had a wonderful time in Timor Leste with this travel agency! My tour guide Roberto was 🔛🔝! He was very flexible, teached many things from his culture and country and was over all very professional and nice. He also managed to arrange me an extra tour to Balibo on a short notice 👍🏻. Totally recommend this travel agency and this tour guide! 👍🏻
