This10-day trip is a unique window into the diverse landscapes and culture of Puerto Rico, a beautiful island rich in history. We hope to delve into and honor its indigenous roots by discussing the island’s continuously complex relationship to its colonizers.
Circle the island, exploring the colorful and historic streets of San Juan in the north and the artistry of the southern city of Ponce. We will anchor a portion of our stay in the coastal region of Cabo Rojo where our days will be split between experiential learning and sightseeing or relaxing. We will be working with ISER Caribe, a local organization that is investing in their community. We will follow their lead on various projects from laboratory cultivation to farming on local homesteads, land preservation and marine conservation, and creating sustainable connections. We will also be relaxing by the ocean and choosing from an array of geographical delights such as caves, mountains, rainforests, and bioluminescent bays, guided by our local partners and educators. All of this will be punctuated by the flavorful local cuisine of Puerto Rico.
Help support important ecological work and cultural practices while thoughtfully touring this gorgeous island.
