Environmental Commitment
Off Grid Relief
Andrés also started a solar energy brigade after the devastating Hurricane Maria in 2017. When many of the island's mountain towns were expected to be without power for over a year, Andrés decided to give back to the mountains that had given him so much and founded "Off Grid Relief", a non-profit organization that installed full solar energy systems for Free for over 41 Families.
He adopted a remote, devastated village high in the mountains of Utuado and assisted in the creation of a fully off grid village with solar energy and spring water piped directly to their homes.
Creating an Eco Village
The concept was to adopt a village and create a fully off the grid eco village in a community where residents were so affected by the Hurricane and the failing power system. Hopefully, that solar powered off grid village would serve as an inspiration for other neighboring communities who were still in the dark.
Organic Fruit Forest
Andrés' current home at the foothills of the Rainforest is now the home base for our Atabey Tours "Magical Mystery Tour" waterfall journey. He has planted over 20 varieties of organic Fruit trees including:
- Cacao
- Coconut
- Coffee
- Acerola (Caribbean Cherry)
- Guanabana (Soursop)
- Guayaba (Guava)
- Aguacate (Avocado)
- Pomarrosa (Rose Apple)
- ...and many more!
The idea is to create an Organic Fruit Forest that travelers will be able to sample (once the harvest is ready) on their way to or back from the waterfall adventure.
