CAMPING
The surrounding
areas of Guanajuato offer a wide array
of natural settings for camping outings. The mountain, sierras and nature reserves, which have a temperate
climate, will allow you to
enjoy nature while specialized tour companies organize recreational activities.
Zona Recreativa de las
Palomas ? Located 15 minutes from
Guanajuato off Highway 110
in the direction of Dolores Hidalgo, in the Cuenca
de la Esperanza. This recreational
area is part
of the migration
path of neotropical
birds from Alaska, Canada and the
United States. Near the Santa Rosa Sierras, one of the
best spots to discover the biodiversity
of Guanajuato?s surrounding
areas, you can go camping in forests of Encino oaks and explore the zone?s rocky formations
and rugged terrain.
Area Natural Protegida Sierra de Lobos ? Located
55 km (34 mi) northwest of Guanajuato and 30 km (18 mi) north of the city
of Leon. Also known as the
Vergel de la Sierra. This natural area
has played an important role in protecting the Mexican wolf,
which is how it got its
original name. This protected reserve has numerous dams and cliffs
where you can take in spectacular views while camping. It also has a comfortable
hotel complex where you can relax and enjoy the peace
and harmony of nature.
