Riviere-Pilote is a commune in the south of Martinique, the French volcanic island in the Lesser Antilles, where natural chloride-rich springs emerge from the ancient geological basement of the island formed by successive volcanic events over millions of years. The thermal waters here have been traditionally used by local communities for their mineral properties, complementing the natural wellness traditions of the Caribbean island culture. The southern Martinique countryside around Riviere-Pilote is home to some of the finest AOC rum distilleries in the island — Trois Rivieres and La Mauny — making a source thermal visit followed by a distillery tour with rhum agricole tasting a richly authentic Martinican experience.
