For
over half a century, Casa de los Amigos has offered hospitality to travelers
who share Quaker convictions of international peace and understanding.
La Casa de los Amigos manages a guesthouse where people come together
to share ideas, time and space. By providing a space where people of
different cultures and backgrounds come together this program helps
fulfill part of the Casa's mission to promote peace and international
understanding.
The Casa receives over 2,500 visitors each year from all over the world.
Our guests are Quakers, people working with social organizations, volunteers,
groups visiting Mexico to work on a service project, researchers and
students, and travelers who come to learn about Mexico.
Accommodations
are simple and we offer a unique experience that we hope our guests
carry with them long after their visit to the Casa. We offer shared
accommodations (separate sex dormitories) and private rooms. Casa de
los Amigos is a non-profit organization and we ask for a donation to
cover costs. Please contact us for the current list of suggested donations.
Guests of the Casa form part of our community and in order to benefit
from and give to that community we ask that guests stay a minimum of
two consecutive nights. We especially welcome groups visiting Mexico
to work on social projects. The Casa offers a variety of spaces and
services: a guest lounge and kitchen, library, information center (with
publications and announcements on social justice themes and volunteer
opportunities) and conference room, among others.
Guests are welcome
to attend the Casa's programmed events during the week, such as the
Charla Cultural (cultural interchange) on Fridays, English, Spanish
and French conversation groups during the week and Chess Club on Sundays.
Casa
de los Amigos is the home of the Mexico City Monthly Meeting and guests
and visitors are invited to join in Meeting for Worship.
The
Reception area and Casa services are available from 8 am to 9:30 pm.
There is no restriction on registered guests entering the Casa after
reception hours. Unfortunately, we cannot recieve guests after hours.
Reservations without confirmation are respected until 6 pm.
