The capital of the district, the city of Manatuto, is the economic and cultural center of the area, which is dominated by fishing, agriculture and a small amount of tourism. Geographically, Manatuto has rugged mountains and coastline, a tropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, and a population of about 45,000, mostly speaking Tetum and Portuguese.
