Jaco Island is a stunning, uninhabited island located at the eastern tip of Timor-Leste (East Timor), near the town of Lospalos. It is part of the Nino Konis Santana National Park, which is known for its rich biodiversity and cultural heritage. Jaco Island is revered by the local Timorese people as a sacred place, which has helped in preserving its pristine condition and the natural beauty that captivates visitors. The island's powdery white sand beaches and the clear turquoise waters that surround it are home to a vibrant marine life, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts. The journey to Jaco Island often involves traveling through Tutuala village and then taking a short boat ride to the island itself. The island's seclusion and lack of permanent human settlement have kept its environment relatively untouched, providing a perfect example of nature's unspoiled splendor. The combination of cultural significance and natural wonders makes Jaco Island a truly mystical and enthralling destination.
