Mount Ramelau

Mount Ramelau rises to 2,986 meters above sea level, featuring stone steps, dirt paths, and eucalyptus forests along the hiking trail.

The mountain area transformed from dense eucalyptus forest to farmland in 1927 when Portuguese settlers established agricultural activities in the region.

The summit includes a statue of Virgin Mary, making it a principal Catholic pilgrimage site during the annual Annunciation celebration on March 25.

The trek begins at Hatobuilico village, requiring a 2-5 hour hike through varied terrain with two water streams available at 2,500 meters elevation.

From the peak, visitors observe both the south coast of Timor and Atauro Island, while temperatures can decrease near freezing during dry season.
