About East Timor:
Visitors to East Timor will find it's both a recovering war zone and a beautiful country. Despite the destruction, this former Portuguese territory has some fine beaches, colonial towns, rugged mountains and a lush interior. Old Portuguese forts dot the countryside and former colonial hill stations provide a cooling break from the heat of the coast.
