The Black River District, or Rivière Noire, is the third largest district by area in Mauritius, yet it boasts one of the smallest populations. Named for the grayish and black basaltic mountainous rocks that dominate its landscape, the district offers a picturesque rural setting with a dry climate. Visitors can explore the scenic countryside, engage in outdoor activities such as fishing and hiking, and enjoy the natural beauty that makes this region a favorite among travelers.
