Description

We'll gather at the designated meeting point in Plaza de la Catedral at the scheduled time, beginning our tour through the Mexican city of León. Here, you'll uncover the immense significance of leather and shoe craftsmanship, offering a delightful cultural immersion.

Our first stop delves into the historical background of León's foundation and how the growth of the leather and shoemaking industry has significantly shaped the city's evolution. Afterward, we'll hop on a minibus, embarking on a journey to a traditional tannery. Here, you'll gain insights into the intricate art of tanning leather. Ever wondered how leather is meticulously worked? Prepare to be amazed!

Next, we'll make our way to the second artisan workshop in León that we'll explore. On this leg of our journey, we'll venture inside a factory where skilled artisans handcraft various leather goods.

Our final destination will be a shoe factory, where you'll witness the meticulous process of crafting custom shoes and even globally exported cowboy boots.

As we wrap up our exploration, we'll return to our starting point, concluding the León craftsmanship tour after four hours of cultural immersion.
