Sustaining Puerto Rico is the main exhibition at the newly created Centro Criollo de Ciencia y Tecnologia in Caguas. This highly interactive exhibition examines the island and its inhabitants amidst a broader global story. The primary focus will be on sustainability and the dynamics of systems - from each individual, to the island itself and its place in the world: our bodies, our island, our planet.
In this traditional herbalist hut, visitors explore the preparation and the use of various medicinal herbs, and learn about preserving the biodiversity of the local plants.
