Just got back from Jaco Island… at the eastern end of Timor-Leste. It’s a long ride to get out to the point (about 6 hours on some very questionable roads), but well worth the effort. The scenery changes (i.e. it’s really dry since it’s the dry season) and there is a definite shortage of civilization/people… The east is where you’ll also find the traditional Timorese spirit house (above photo).
Imagine the tropical paradise that advertising companies do so well and you’ll only get a slice of what Jaco is. The water is crystal clear with the most vivid turquoise imaginable, and the sand is as find as sand can be. I’ll let the photos speak for itself – I haven’t retouched any of these photos!
I’m not sure if development is good or not… yes, it’ll help the country, but then again, places like this won’t be kept untouched kadalak001
