Why Walk Dili

Dili is the capital of Timor-Leste, which gained independence in 2002 after a long struggle. The city stretches along a curving waterfront backed by rugged mountains. A 27-meter Cristo Rei statue stands on a promontory at the end of a coastal road. The coral reefs off Atauro Island, visible from the city, are among the most biodiverse in the world.
