Irapuato, Agricultural center in Guanajuato, Mexico.
Located in the Bajío valley at 1728 meters elevation, Irapuato spreads between the Silao River and Guanajuato River, surrounded by fertile agricultural lands.
Founded in 1547 by Vasco de Quiroga, the settlement began with an Indian hospital and chapel named La Misericordia near the current city center.
The city maintains strong agricultural traditions through regular markets, festivals, and events celebrating its renowned strawberry production and regional farming practices.
The Del Bajío International Airport, situated 25 minutes from the city, provides direct flights to Los Angeles, Houston, and Mexico City.
The region produces significant quantities of strawberries, corn, wheat, and beans, with extensive irrigation systems drawing water from the upper Lerma River.
