Cristo Rei of Dili is a prominent statue of Jesus Christ perched atop a globe, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Dili and the ocean. Accessible via a challenging climb of over 500 steps, it is not suitable for visitors with mobility issues, though the base of the peninsula is reachable by vehicle. The site can be easily explored independently, with no specific need for a guide, and there are no seasonal restrictions for visiting, though early mornings or late afternoons are recommended to avoid the intense tropical heat. Entry is free, with the only cost being transportation to the site. Visitors typically spend 1 to 2 hours here, including the ascent, enjoying the views, and descent. It is advisable to wear comfortable footwear and bring water for the climb.
