10 days in Dili District & Lautem District Itinerary

When East Timor declared itself independent from Indonesia in 2002, the small town of Dili took center stage as the nation's capital.

Your trip includes some of its best attractions: see the interesting displays at The Archives & Museum of East Timorese Resistance, see some colorful creatures with Aquatica Dive Resort, stroll the grounds of Cemetery of Santa Cruz, and brush up on your military savvy at Dare Memorial Museum and Cafe.
