Tutuala lies about 6 miles/10km before the eastern tip of East Timor - you may never find yourself anywhere quite as remote again. The village itself is simple but lies within an area that is spectacularly beautiful and positively steeped in ancient history.

Caves excavated by researchers from Australian National University at nearby Lene Hara are yielding archeological finds dated to 30,000 years ago.

Neighbouring caves, such as O Hi and Ile Kere Kere, also contain 5000-year old paintings of animals, dancing figures and celestial or life symbols.
