Saint-Benoît is one of the five administrative districts of the eastern part of the French overseas department of Réunion, located in the tropical hinterland of the Mascarene Islands in the southwestern part of the Indian Ocean, with the city of Saint-Benoît as its capital. The region is known for its natural splendor, with iconic waterfalls such as the Cascade du Mât, as well as dense rainforests, meandering rivers and volcanic landscapes, making it a destination for hiking and eco-tourism. The region is a mix of Creole, African, European and Asian cultures, with traditional markets filled with the aroma of spices and handicrafts, and local cuisine such as "chicken curry" and "shrimp basil" carrying unique flavors. The economy is based on agriculture (herb and fruit cultivation) and tourism, which attracts tourists from all over the world thanks to its pristine ecology and relaxed atmosphere, making it one of the central destinations for experiencing the charms of Réunion's "natural island".
