This hard 2 & ½ day hike (excluding two ½ days of travel) involves over 2,000m of ascent and descent as you walk between Bobonaro and Ermera municipalities visiting two natural hot springs and the highest waterfall in Timor-Leste.
11am Enjoy the scenery of Liquiçá and Bobonaro on the 6 hour drive to Tapo, up in the hills beyond Maliana.
Hike through beautiful forest on Mt Abendudatoi (1,755m). The views are quite stunning, and followed by a descent down to Marobo’s natural hot springs (pictured below). Have a relaxing soak, while camp is set up for you.
Hike up to the dramatically located village of Ilat-Laun, then descend to the little known Ilat-Laun natural hot springs before crossing the Loes River, which marks the border between Bobonaro and Ermera. A final climb takes you to the outskirts of Atsabe, where we camp with a view! (pictured below).
A relatively easy day in comparison, hiking through the beautiful village of Atsabe, heading to Bandeira Falls (pictured below). At 200m high, this is the highest waterfall in Timor-Leste. The hiking ends here, but we will stop in Letefoho on the 6 hour drive back for more spectacular views, including on a clear day of Mt Ramelau, the highest mountain in the country.
