Long Story...

Casa Huichol is a place where real Huicholes live when they have any medical issue.

They come "down" from were they live, (kids and all) to be able to access to medical care. They can see a doctor and have a place to stay, in exchange for their artwork, which is sold to cover the costs of food and expenses.

Unfortunately, not too successfully.

What I mean by this is; It took my friend Mariana a while to find this place because Casa Huichol is like the best kept secret in Mexico. Outsiders are rarely given direct access to this place.

I do have the phone number for Casa Huichol.
I will make it available on request.

Note: This photo does not do the artwork justice.
The vibrant colors of all those hand laid beads must be seen to be believed !
