Description

Bela's B & B is a charming inn with six guest rooms. The cottage bedroom has an ensuite bathroom
and is right in the garden. This room's windows look into the garden and the bathroom is decorated
with tiles from Puebla and has a queen bed. The suite has a king bed and sitting area, private bath
with tub and the room above the suite has a glorious view, balcony and private bathroom. The master
suite has a king bed downstairs with porch and kitchenette and private bath, two singles beds
upstairs with a balcony and gorgeous view. There are two small rooms that share a bath - room
shares a bath with separate shower, two sinks and two WC's. The dining area is a glassed-in room
with a chimney for the chilly mornings. The location of the inn is excellent; just steps away from
a crafts marketplace (Santa Domingo church), a block from the walking street which leads to the
zocalo and cathedral (four blocks) and on to the famous Del Carmen church. Three blocks in the
other direction is the main market. There is excellent comida served five days a week for $6.00 US
by Bela's assistant Manuela, a lovely indigenous woman from Chanal (oneof the nearby communities).
The regional food is delicious and made from local ingredients. This is a family affair.
We have locally-grown free trade coffee. The garden is gorgeous where visitors, friends and three
wonderful dogs can romp, read, write, drink coffee or wine and enjoy the sun. Being generally cool,
San Cristobal doesn't suffer from biting bugs -- a blessing in such an oasis.

Amenities

We offer Hi Speed WI FI internet connection, airport pick up and drop off, on-site laundry service,
on-site one-and-a-half-hour deep tissue massage for 500 pesos (30 dollars), and four lovely dogs.
We have Also and perhaps best, (after the massage maybe) we have Manuela, who may be the best
cook south of the Rio Bravo! Bela gives walking/shopping tours for those interested.

Attractions

There is the Cathedral, located on the main plaza, containing baroque
altars, 17th and 18th century paintings, fine wood carvings and
sculptures. Also, Santo Domingo Church, built between 1547 and 1560,
is one of the largest in Mexico. Its facade is an example of typical
Mexican Baroque. Na-Bolom (House of the Jaguar) houses an
archeological and ethnological museum and library. Founded by Danish
archeologist Frans Blom and his wife Trudi, the foundation focuses on
the Indians of Chiapas and their culture. The Indian Market is located
on the grounds of the Santo Domingo Church. Held every day, Mayan
people come in from the villages to sell textiles, pottery, jewelry,
and baskets as well as items made of leather, tin, cotton, and wool.
The daily City Market is San Cristobal's central market. Located two
blocks from the Indian market, it is the source of produce, meat,
fresh flowers, furniture, charcoal, household goods, and clothing for
much of the city's population. Some of the most interesting ruin sites
in Mexico and Central America are in Chiapas, including Palenque,
Tonina, Yaxchilan, Bonampak, Tenam Puente, and Chinkultic, among
others. Hiking options include walks through pine forests, a climb to
the Huetepec Cloud Forest, and guided or unguided tours of the city.
Bike rentals and horseback riding excursions are available.
