I've combined a few videos made through several years in Timor from 2016 to 2020. Baucau has always occupied a special place in my heart and I never missed an opportunity to stop by on the way to the Eastern villages like Lospalos, Viqueque, Baguia and, of course, Jaco Island.
Keep your expectations curbed and you won't be disappointed. Baucau does not have as much entertainment at night as Dili and is pretty quiet unless it's a holiday. But that's its main charm - a quiet weekend getaway place just within 2-3 hours drive with spectacular beaches and mountainous vistas just within 30 min drive from Baucau. That's why many people use it as a transit base to go further towards the mountains of Ossu, waterfalls of Venilale, caves of Viqueque or pristine blue waters of Jaco.
Stopping in pousada for a late lunch and a swim in piscina is a must do for a tired traveller coming back to Dili after a visit to the districts.
