Support VisitRico
We believe that a solid AgroCultural economy in Puerto Rico is the fruits of teamwork labor, with farmers at the center. We aid the process of recovery after natural disasters, develop educational agritourism experiences that engage the food chain and promote the conservation of our natural resources.
100% of your donation will be used to support our emergency recovery efforts and contribute to our agroecological programs that strengthen the Puerto Rican agricultural sector.
