My name is Bela and I'm a spunky California gal who came home to Mexico starting in the 60s. I have been living in beautiful San Cristobal de Las Casas for 28 years and dearly love this little cultural cosmopolitan of southern Mexico. The state of Chiapas is truly remarkable and unforgettable in its distinct historical, cultural, and natural richness. Our B&B family started with Manuela, originally from the village of Chanal, and Martin, from the village of Oxchuc, and has grown to include their daughter Teresa (our on-site masseuse), four extra friendly pups, and our incredible frequently-returning guests who make Bela's B&B their second home. We proudly speak English, Spanish, and Tzeltal in our household!
