Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

Vieques is a very eclectic island with lots to learn culturally and environmentally. Vieques is home to one of the biggest nurseries in the Caribbean with one of the most diverse ecosystems. The people and the food are a blend of african, spanish and taino decent which is reflected in the spices culture and festivities. Puerto Rico is home to some of the best dancers in the world which can be sampled at any local club or plaza. The music playing in the streets is often a welcomed pleasure. During your stay you will experience some of the local cuisine caught daily by local fishermen, partake in some local events and festivities that are frequent on the island. Hopefully take in all the beauty and serenity that is Vieques.
