Missions of Baja
(7 days, 6 nights)

In 1697, priests Eusebio Francisco Kino and Juan María de Salvatierra were allowed to come to the Baja Paninsula in the name of the King of Spain. In the distance, fifty guaycuras sighted the ships that brought the people that with hard work conquer, not with weapons but with the cross and the word of God, the lands of Baja California Sur.
 
The procedure they followed to found a mission, was to locate in the first place, water and some land for the cultivation, and where there was also a considerable native population in the area. Once they locate the place, they built cottages for the missionaries. As soon as possible, the church was built.

Some of these formidable buildings survive in perfect conditions, such as the "Mission of San Ignacio", one of the most beautiful and best preserved, built by Juan Bautista Luyando in 1728; The "Mission of San Francisco Javier" was founded in 1699, a Chapel made of adobe, built by Fray Francisco María Piccolo, the current building was constructed in 1774 by Father Miguel Barco, for its beautiful architecture it has been considered the "Jewel of the Missions of Baja California Sur"; The "Mission of Santa Rosalía de Mulege", was established in 1705 by Father Juan Maria Basaldúa, 117 kilometers north of Loreto, it is one of the best located, built into an oasis by the sea.
