This blog was created by friends of Sergio Castro in 2008. Sergio is a humanitarian in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, who has helped build schools, clean water systems and educates tourists on the local Maya population via his museum. He also provides wound and burn care to the locals - gratis. His museo contains a rare collection of traditional Maya costumes and clothing given as gifts over the last 45 years for his humanitarian work.

Arrived safely in San Cristóbal de Las Casas
March 17, 2011
Kieu and I arrived around 9:30 last night to Bela's B&B. Bela sent her favorite trusted driver, Don Gerardo, to pick us up at the airport and got us to San Cristóbal efficiently.
Arriving at her place is like walking into a small Mexican paradise. Bela has four dogs that give such life to the place you immediately feel welcomed and at home. In the morning, the birdsong and activity in the open central garden just out our room door add to the quality of the experience.... along with the church bells in the background.
Bela has known and helped Sergio for many years. Sergio's museum is high on her recommended places to visit while here in San Cristóbal, thus sending her guests to meet this humanitarian legend and be enriched with his knowledge of the indigenous culture. We will leave El Andalon videos here to sell and give all proceeds to Sergio. Thank you for hosting us Bela!
