San Miguel PEN presents... César Arias & Dylan Terrell
The Future of Water in San Miguel
The world is running out of water, and San Miguel has an urgent water problem. In this fascinating presentation, two champions of clean, natural water, César Arias de la Canal—a founder and current President of San Miguel’s beloved El Charco del Ingenio Botanical Garden and a member of an old and prominent San Miguel family—and Dylan Terrell—founder and executive director of Caminos de Agua, providing clean water access to San Miguel communities—will discuss how we got to this point, what we can do about it, and what the future holds.
About the Venue
San Miguel PEN Presents Winter Series will all take place at Casa de La Cultura, located in the heart of San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato. This location provides the perfect backdrop for conversations of such profound importance.
