Bajio, founded

activities.

EXPERIENCE

León has become a true metropolis, with nearly 1.5

million inhabitants. With

excellent connections to the

rest of the country, León is famous for its

great fairs and events, and now firmly committed to modernity. A paradise for shopping, a

child-friendly city, it still retains the charm of its historic center.

Microlight, paragliding, fly over the beautiful landscape of the Bajio, alone or in

company. Parachute jumps from 4.000 meters, tandem, as exciting as insurance,

and balloon ascents. Do not look up, rise slowly and admire Guanajuato under

your feet.
