Tutuala and Jaco island

After enjoying Com's beautiful beaches I headed on to Tutuala, the most eastern village of Timor Leste, close to Jaco island. It's really small, not a single restaurant existing, and aside from experiencing the rural daily life of the friendly, curious and welcoming people, I were just enjoying awesome views and going around in the mountains and to Watabo Beach.
Timor Leste only has two islands (Atauro, close to Dili, will be seen soon, too), Jaco is one of them. It's very small and uninhabited and so close to Watabo Beach, that you can swim to it, if you're not afraid of the crocodiles. 😅
As usual everywhere, here, there are a lot of mysteries told about that island, a common one is, that during resistance all deer on that island were hunted for feeding the resistance, but soon after independence, deer were mysteriously back on that island.
I wasn't lucky with the weather, here, so I decided not to visit the island during the rain, but headed on to Ira Lalaro, a lake in the highlands on my way to Lospalos, where the weather should be better. 😅Read more
