Tutuala

Tutuala lies on the far eastern tip of Timor, above a coast of limestone cliffs and forest. Nearby caves preserve traces of people who inhabited the island thousands of years ago. At Lene Hara, carved faces and painted marks remain on the rock; the Fataluku communities regard the cave as an ancestral place. The shelters of Il Kere Kere contain images of ancestors and boats, recalling a long history in which the sea linked Timor to other lands.

The later city of Lospalos lies here.
