San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas

Nataté provides accommodation for all the projects located in San Cristobal de las Casas in a house located in the centre of the city. The house has 6 rooms and volunteers share the rooms with other volunteers. There is a maximum of two volunteers per room. The house has all facilities at disposal – living room, kitchen, 3 toilets/showers and a small patio. Volunteers have the possibility to cook for themselves. Mexican food is very rich and meat is quite common. However, vegetarians and vegans should not have a problem finding what they need for their diet. The school provides food, breakfast and vegetarian lunch.

By plane - Arrival airport is Tuxtla Gutiérrez. From the airport it is possible to catch a collective taxi or a shutter bus to San Cristóbal de las Casas. Volunteers can arrive in Mexico City and take a bus to San Cristobal de las Casas. The trip is long (13 hours) but cheaper than the plane.
By Bus - Arrival bus terminal is OCC in San Cristóbal de las Casas. From there walk till the office.

There are many opportunities for volunteers to enjoy their stay in Mexico. Only in the state of Chiapas the possibilities to visit places and have an enriching cultural experience are many. Guatemala is also nearby and volunteers can take advantage of this geographical situation.

The drug situation in Mexico is quite complicated. While most of the violence occurs between the drug cartels and drug dealers, volunteers must be aware of the risks that imply the use of drugs. In any case the use of any type of drugs is prohibited in Nataté's house or any of the projects' premises. Nataté will not be tolerant with anyone using drugs in the house or in the projects. Not abiding to this rule will be a reason for being expelled.

Spanish is the main language in the project.

There is a participation fee of 2500 Mexican pesos per month (about 115 GBP). This fee covers accommodation and food plus administrative costs.
