Suai Loro village (South Coast) Thanks to rumors, many think the Timorese would still believe in their crocodile ancestry. But in fact, there are only a few places in the country where this myth is deeply rooted within the society.

Suai Loro is one of the cultural hotspots. Situated just next to the crocodile infested swamp, this tiny village looks like an Ethnological Museum came to life. Apparently, the community has changed little over the centuries and maintained their typical lifestyle. Until now, they dwell in picturesque stilt houses roofed with palm leaves, cooking outdoor in improvised bamboo kitchens, and meticulously sweeping their courtyards as if a master of a Japanese Zen garden is coming by for quality control on a daily basis.
