Museo Sergio Castro

Absolutely a must to visit Sergio’s wonderful museum. A fantastic collection of traditional clothing from the state Chiapas. Note: Sergio ‘s museum is only open one hour per day. Free.

The most impressive part of the trip, Don Sergio has dedicated the majority of his life to help the indigenous people in many capacities, as a dermatologist healing wounds (looks like diabetes is an issue among them bue to the excessive consumption of Coca-Cola), building wells and teaching the locals about health care. He acquired the items in the museum over the years.

Fantastic! Dr Castro has an amazing display of Chiapas village costumes, and an excellent slide show of local Festival days. More than that, his commitment to helping burn victims and other sick people in the villages surrounding San Cristobal is phenomenal. Go! Don't miss it!

Sergio was the nicest man in the world. He helped me in a pinch as an American traveler and didn't even charge me. He's the medicine man and so is his assistant. Thank you Sergio

one goes here to meet and talk with sergio castro, a true hero for so many. sergio has been the savior of so many burn victims in san cristobal and communities around this colonial city. he gives selfishly of his time, money and energy to help those who would be left to be scarred from their wounds a true saint for so many. the re is also an excellent collection of traditional clothing, but alas in a sad state of preservation.

Super interesting situation. Doctor Castro is an amazing generous person, very friendly and very welcoming and his collection of Trajes are incredible to see!

This was one museum I'll never forget. The knowledge and the cultural preservation is unparalleled. Do not miss this!

As of now the museum is closed for renovation
