Origination spot of California Missions El Camino Real with a large bell in the city center. Such a great experience to see where it all started! Thank you Loreto!

Reviewed By C5293QDmicheleb

We have been coming to Cabo for the past decade and we always attend mass here. It’s welcoming and they offer bilingual masses. The streets are closed on Sunday mornings for the families it’s a beautiful time to explore the area and visit the recently renovated Viva La Plaza

La Mision de San Ignacio

Reviewed By 264suer - Sacramento, United States

La Mission de San Ignacio was a beautiful piece of architecture and they best part is that it's entire grounds are being used. It's not an a museum piece... it's a church, school, nunnery, etc. The activity in and around this building is fabulous. The city offers great restaurants, small community events, etc. Locals hang out in the town square just outside the mission. Can't wait to stop through next time we are in the area.

Mision San Francisco Javier de Vigge-Biaundo

Reviewed By A1451XYmichaelm - Erie, United States

Only 50 min drive from Loreto. The paved road has amazing views of the Sierra de la Giganta mountains & the Sea of Cortes. The 320 year old San Javier Mision is an architectural wonder surrounded by irrigated fields & orchards engineered by the Jesuits & built by the indigenous people. Don't miss the massive twisted olive tree behind the church (same age as mision?) Small museum at back of church has artifacts dating back to start of Mision. Make sure to have Pesos for "donation/admittance fees". Dining options at the 2 restaurants are basic traditional Mexican fare. Photo opportunities at every turn. A must see if in the Loreto area.
