Located in the southwestern part of St. Lucia, Choiseul District, with its capital city of Soufrière, is a district that combines the country's natural wonders with its historical heritage. With the World Natural Heritage Site of Mount Piton as its centerpiece, the twin volcanic peaks and surrounding rainforest form a unique ecosystem, while the active Soufrière Hills Volcano and natural sulfur springs attract visitors from around the globe. The coast is dotted with black and white sand beaches such as Anse La Rue, making it an ideal destination for snorkeling and eco-tourism. Historically, the remains of 18th century French colonial Creole architecture and sugar plantations still speak of Caribbean colonial culture. With a local economy based on banana and coconut cultivation, a thriving fishing industry and eco-tourism, Choiseul epitomizes the charm of St. Lucia's "Island of Nature".
