Community work

Centro Verde is supporting the education and hobbies of children and young people, construction and renovation of houses for the most needy people, learning crafts, planting fruit trees and using fruits.

Fruits

At Centro Verde we demonstrate how to grow the fruits and how to eat it! We hope that one day our valley will truly be "The Fruit Valley - Rio Limpio!" Now we have almost eighty different fruits growing here at Centro Verde – and we've already eaten over 40 different varieties!

Nature

The Rio Limpio Valley is beautiful – it still rains enough. But slash and burn agriculture is practiced here. And that is "the big issue" for the future of the valley. The forest area decreases every year. But what options do the poorest farmers have?

Rio Limpio

Rio Limpio is a small town in the mountains in the Dominican Republic next to Nalca de Maco National Park. We are 700 meters above sea level, and the highest peak is Nalca de Maco; almost 2000 meters. Much of the old traditions have still been preserved in the area and it has its special individuality.

Very nice place in the middle of the nature. Eco-tourism is the right word. A quiet place in the mountains. Some of the cabins were made af home-made bricks and roof tiles and hand cut wooden beams, very authentic. We were invited for an afternoon visit and were offered local grown coffee and home made bread baked in a wood stove. Hospitable people, we enjoyed every moment - and will be back for sure.
