Passport Program
Our Passport Program is designed to give you a taste of the many beautiful areas that the Rio Grande Valley has to offer. In order to get credit for visiting a location, take a picture of yourself at the entrance or another space identifiable to that specific area, and share it with our instagram page using the hashtag #URECOA. Sharing five locations will earn you a prize, with a bonus for sharing all ten.
