The southern border is formed by the Mauceun River in the southern part . The western part of the southern border is formed by the country road that connects the places Ermera and Hatolia Vila .

Coming from Ermera another overland road crosses the Suco Mertuto and leads into the Suco Humboe and on to the municipal capital Gleno . North of the road, the Buri River reaches the northern border of Mertuto, follows the border between the Suco and Talimoro and changes its name to Buro .

history

In 1997, FALINTIL commander Nino Konis Santana hid from the Indonesian army in a bunker under a house in Mertuto . A five-year-old boy named Kercoli provided him with water and food during this time. The high school in Gleno is therefore named after Santana. After Santana died in 1998, he was buried in Mertuto. In 2012 a discussion broke out because the Santanas family would like to transfer his bones to the family cemetery, which the inhabitants of Ermera were reluctant to do. On December 9th, Santana was finally exhumed. He found his final resting place in the National Heroes' Cemetery in Metinaro .

politics

In the 2004/2005 elections , António de Jesus was elected Chefe de Suco. In the 2009 elections won António Martins .
