Why Fly to León / Guanajuato, Mexico?

Del Bajío International Airport (BJX) is served nonstop by American, United, Delta, and Southwest from multiple US cities. From BJX you can reach Guanajuato city (30 min by road), San Miguel de Allende (1h), and Dolores Hidalgo (1.5h, birthplace of Mexican independence). The Bajío region’s extraordinary silver mining heritage, indigenous festivals, and Baroque church architecture make it Mexico’s most historically rich travel destination.

Guanajuato — UNESCO Colonial Masterpiece
Guanajuato (UNESCO World Heritage) — a city built in a narrow ravine where colonial mansions in pink, yellow, and green plaster cascade down steep hillsides, connected by a network of underground roads (subterráneo), plazas, and callejones including the famous Callejón del Beso (Kiss Alley, 68cm wide) — is one of the most extraordinarily beautiful cities in the Americas.
Guanajuato Mummy Museum
The Museo de las Momias (Mummy Museum) — displaying 111 naturally mummified human remains exhumed from Guanajuato’s municipal cemetery in the 19th and 20th centuries, preserved by the region’s unique soil chemistry — is one of Mexico’s most extraordinary and most macabre attractions, displayed in a manner that inspired Ray Bradbury’s ‘The Next in Line.’
Festival Internacional Cervantino
The Festival Internacional Cervantino (October, 3 weeks) — the largest arts and cultural festival in Latin America, founded in 1953 around performances of Cervantes’s Entremeses in Guanajuato’s plazas — brings 80,000+ visitors daily from 40+ countries for world-class theatre, dance, music, and visual arts in the most extraordinary open-air venue in the Americas.
San Miguel de Allende — World’s Best City
San Miguel de Allende (1h from BJX) — a UNESCO World Heritage city of extraordinary Baroque churches, artisan workshops, and a thriving American expat arts colony, consistently voted the world’s best city by Travel + Leisure — is Mexico’s most internationally celebrated colonial destination, its pink Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel cathedral the most photographed building in Mexico.
León — Leather & Shoe Capital
León is the shoe and leather capital of the Americas — producing 70% of Mexico’s footwear and a significant share of Latin American leather goods in a city of extraordinary artisan tradition. The Poliforum León convention center and the Zona Piel leather market are destinations for buyers worldwide, while the Explora interactive science museum and the Diego Rivera house (birthplace of the muralist) offer cultural depth.
