Before the 2015 territorial reform, Lour had an area of 25.85 km². Now it is 40.93 km². The Suco is in the northeast of the administrative office of Zumalai. To the northwest lies the Suco Mape . Across the Fatoro River lie the Suco Fatuleto to the west and the Suco Zulo to the southwest . At the southern tip of the Sucos Lour, the Fatoro flows into the Mola , the border river to the administrative office and municipality of Ainaro with its Sucos Cassa and Mau-Nuno . The only larger, contiguous settlement in Suco is Salasa ( Lour Salasa ). It is near the confluence of the Mola and Fatoro rivers. The place has a primary school, the Escola Primaria Lour .

For the parliamentary elections in East Timor in 2007 , the ballot boxes had to be brought to and from the polling station in the elementary school by helicopter.

In the Suco are the seven Aldeias Lae Gatal , Pelet , Ritiluli , Salasa , Somo Kanua , Tilis and Uluc Lolo .
