Thank you for helping spread the word about the La Rende! Trek, which has the potential to become a signature trail supporting the sustainable development of adventure tourism in Timor-Leste. It highlights the nation’s rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and welcoming culture. It was a true pleasure to hit the trails with SGT Heath Crotty and CPO Christian Duncan, and to gain insights from Mr. Ed Willis, author of WWII in East Timor: An Australian Army Site and Travel Guide, as we paused at key sites along the way.

What an incredible week here in Timor Leste. On Saturday night we launched the La Rende! (No Surrender!) Trek and on Wednesday night took out 2nd place in the Timor-Leste Tourism Short Film Festival. 👍🇹🇱🐊💪

The inaugural La Rende! Trek is 75kms over 7 days through stunning remote parts of Timor-Leste. The launch event was a fantastic evening with hikers, businesses, local government and diplomats all coming together to celebrate a new chapter in adventure tourism sector.

As reception allows we will continue to share photos from this incredible trek.

One of the most humbling moments in my coffee career, Ameta of Mota Bandeira coffee has allocated a plot of coffee trees for Silva Coffee Roasters ♥️ In two years time when the cherries are ripe we will decide on the processing method washed, natural or honey process and source our own Silva coffee direct from the farm!
It’s people & relationships like this that is at the heart of why we do what we do.
Thank you Ameta and for the connection 🙏

Day 3 - “After the long hike up to Mota Dokomali, with a few stops along the way, the view awaiting us at the top of the mountain was breathtaking. The vast greenery, farmers working off in the distance, and the heavy flowing waterfall were all amazing to witness and was one of the best feelings in the world. I would do it over and over again if I could.” - Maddog Participant

Yesterday, we welcomed a group of intrepid travellers to the glorious hot humidity of Timor-Leste. After settling into their accommodation the group enjoyed a walk to Cristo Rei to take in the panoramic views and sights and sounds of Dili.

Today, the group are learning how to prepare and cook using seasonal produce - garlic, banana blossom, white eggplant, pumpkin, chayote, lime and coconut and so much more yumminess 😋

Thanks to the amazing work of a number of dedicated individuals and organisations the slow food movement is alive and well in Timor-Leste 🇹🇱 This experience is such a treat for guests and a wonderful way to showcase traditional Timorese foods.
