Mexico Boutique Hotels is delighted to announce that in honor of The July Festival of Guelaguetza held in the lovely colonial city of Oaxaca, when you stay at any participating MBH member anywhere in the country during the month of July for three nights or more, a percentage of your entire bill will be donated to a local Oaxaca charity that helps children, the most vulnerable members of society.
One of the most impressive festivals in the Americas, with roots dating back nearly five centuries, the Guelaguetza celebrates giving – the gods providing rain and a good harvest and the community sharing these gifts for the betterment of all. And since Oaxaca recently emerged from a most difficult time in its history, its economy largely dependent on tourism and a protracted strike affecting everyone from chambermaids to craftspeople and their families, Mexico Boutique Hotels members are pulling together to help.
Plus this is an excellent opportunity to not only enjoy a unique Mexico Boutique Hotels experience you will treasure forever, gaining a privileged perspective of this warm and welcoming country, but to exercise your social conscience and benefit others.
The funds raised will help rehabilitate children with physical disabilities, CRIT Oaxaca providing them with a better tomorrow by combing love with top medical science, while emphasizing the importance of dignity as an individual and a nation–www.teleton.org.mx
Oaxaca itself is one of Mexico's most intriguing destinations, offering a rare natural beauty, dynamic culture, magnificent Zapotec and Mixtec archaeological sites, and some of this country's finest and most varied regional cuisine. The vibrant pageantry of the Guelaguetza traditionally held the last two Mondays of July attracts thousands of international visitors and participating ethnic groups from all seven regions of the state. Fireworks, music, age-old dances, magnificent costumes and more offer an exciting glimpse into well-preserved traditions, many followed by Oaxaca's indigenous groups to this day.
