We are pleased to share that Christina J Barea will be speaking at the Traditional Medicine Conference in Barcelona. Christina's presentation covers the important relationship between physical fitness and managing chronic diseases. Her approach explains that the benefits of Qigong which counts on the wisdom of Body, Breath, and Mind, is amplified when paired with fitness training. Patients facing diagnosis of a chronic disease can reclaim autonomy in healing with this powerful combination.

Some travelers will have questions. This aims to help out! Of course, we are always available to answer questions.

Visas, Travel ID's & Currency: Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the USA, therefore it operates exactly the same in terms of visas and currency as if you were traveling to/from any State in the mainland USA. More explicitly, for US Citizens traveling from the mainland to PR it is a domestic flight. If you are a US citizen with a valid ID ("Real ID" Drivers License OR Passport), then no passport or visa is required. For international travelers visa requirements depend on the country you travel from.
The local currency is the US$.

Health Info: As a US citizen, no vaccine or other health documentation is required. International visitors should check on their travel portals for more info. We do recommend you get travelers health insurance just in case something happens when you're on the island to avoid unnecessary complications with your existing health insurance provider.
