Whether you're hiking through the hills near Guanajuato City, exploring archaeological sites at Ibarillos or rock-climbing at La Bufa, Leon makes an excellent base. A city in its own right (it's the Mexico's fifth-largest), it offers the modern comforts many of us long for on vacation. What's more, it has its own airport.

With so many outdoor activities in the region, it's hardly surprising that more travelers are taking their pets with them. While RVs and campsites are an inexpensive option for pet-friendly accommodation near Leon, Guanajuato, they are by no means the only option.

Chain hotels and dogs are not a popular combination in this part of Mexico. And that's a real shame as--for the traveler--they offer a sense of reassurance and security while traveling abroad.

Fortunately, there's one that bucks the trend. Located at the heart of Leon, Radisson's Poliforum Plaza is a small, contemporary hotel. It's well-placed for exploring the city's treasures or traveling further afield to enjoy the area's natural beauty.

Guests enjoy a range of amenities including Internet access, beauty salon, gym, bike cellar and outdoor swimming pool. Each of this pet-friendly hotel's 25 bedrooms is en-suite: guaranteeing privacy. Tennis courts, a golf course and a nature/jogging trail are all within a short distance of the hotel.

Hotel Posadas de las Minas can arrange horseback riding during your stay in this artists' colony.

Central, eastern Mexico has a rich mining heritage that is reflected in its architecture. Just two hours' drive from Leon, Guanajuato is the former mining city of Mineral de Pozos. Once a hub housing as many as 50,000 miners looking for gold and silver, it has been developed as an artisan's city, drawing craftsmen from Mexico, Europe and the U.S.

The eight-room Hotel Posadas de las Minas is an excellent illustration of this former ghost town's change of fortunes. Built during the Industrial age, this hotel--built in the Porfiriato style--once housed a wealthy banker's residence, patio and--for the miners--a general store and soup factory.

Following the civil war in the 1920s, its buildings were left in ruins. Untouched until the 2002, a Texan couple lovingly undertook the site's transformation into the charming hotel it is today.

From its delightful bedrooms to its pet-friendly owners, the hotel has earned a good reputation since opening in 2004. The only restriction on pets in the hotel is that they must be well-behaved ... as must any children staying, too.
