Landscape
Despite the fact that the country spreads across only 15.000 km2 that has no impact on the variety of landscape one can find. The mainland, the Oekusi (Oecussi) enclave and the islands of Ataúru (Ataúro) and Jaku (Jaco) encompass a wide range of landscapes: from the mountain areas of Maubisi (Maubisse), Ermera and Ainaru (Ainaro) to the savannah plains of Lautein (Lautém), from the rice and coffee plantations in Bobonaru (Bobonaro) and Aileu to the rain florest of Lore, the choices are plenty.
