Alas, officially Alas Administrative Post (Portuguese: Posto Administrativo de Alas, Tetum: Postu administrativu Alas), is an administrative post (and was formerly a subdistrict) in the centre of Manufahi municipality, which lies in the centre of East Timor.[1][2] Its seat or administrative centre is Mahaquidan [de],[2] and it is divided into five sucos: Aituha, Dotik (Dotic), Mahaquidan, Taitudac und Uma Berloic (Uma Berloik).
The South Laclo, the largest river in Manufahi, flows across the Alas plain and into the Timor Sea. In the centre of Alas, to the East of Alas town, the river is joined by a tributary and forms a large lake with many islands. The Clerec river forms a border to the East, where the administrative post of Alas meets the administrative post of Fatuberlio. Fatuberlio then continues on, past Alas, to the North. Shortly before the river mouth, the Clerec forms a lagoon known as the Lagoa Mapliu. A number of further lagoons are to be found on both sides of the Lacló and Clerec estuaries. The most southerly point of Alas, Ponta Metibot[3] is located some distance East of the Quelan estuary, to the West of Same administrative post.
