Why Fly to León, Mexico?

BJX serves the entire Bajío region — including Guanajuato, Silao, Irapuato, and San Miguel de Allende (1.5h). From León you can visit some of Mexico’s most atmospheric colonial cities without the crowds of Mexico City.

Guanajuato City (UNESCO)
Mexico’s most beautiful colonial city — the UNESCO-listed city of Guanajuato, with its rainbow-painted buildings, subterranean roads, the Diego Rivera Museum, and the famous Callejón del Beso (Alley of the Kiss), is just 1 hour from BJX airport.
León Leather & Shoe Market
León produces 70% of Mexico’s footwear and is one of the world’s great leather cities — the Zona Piel leather market offers extraordinary quality handmade boots, belts, and bags at a fraction of US retail prices.
Festival Cervantino
The Festival Internacional Cervantino — held in Guanajuato every October — is Latin America’s most prestigious performing arts festival, drawing world-class theatre, dance, and music from 30+ countries to the colonial city’s plazas.
San Miguel de Allende
The UNESCO-listed town of San Miguel de Allende — 1.5 hours from León — is one of Mexico’s most popular expat destinations: cobblestone streets, the neo-Gothic Parroquia church, outstanding restaurants, and a thriving arts scene.
Tequila & Agave Country
The Altos de Jalisco highlands — just over the state border from León — is the heartland of premium highland tequila production. Distillery tours and tastings in the pueblo mágico of Lagos de Moreno offer authentic agave culture.
