About this place
León is a dynamic city in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, often called the "Pearl of the Bajío" and widely recognized as the "Footwear Capital of the World." With a population of roughly 1.7 million, it ranks among Mexico's largest municipalities and serves as a major industrial and commercial hub, particularly for the leather industry. This strong leather-working tradition produces shoes, boots, belts, jackets, and other goods for both national and international markets.
The city also stands out for its commitment to sustainability and active transport. León is considered one of the most environmentally friendly cities in Mexico and has earned a reputation as one of the most bicycle-friendly large cities in Latin America. An extensive network of bike lanes, integrated with the broader transit system, helps maintain a high share of biking and walking among daily trips. Visitors will find a practical, modern city with a distinct manufacturing heritage and easy connections to the broader Bajío region.
