Beautiful Mission, founded in 1697. If you’re in Loreto you must visit. So much history in Loreto. Loreto was the first successful mission and Spanish town in Baja California.

Gorgeous building & inner wall paintings. Unfortunately, many framed painting are in need of restoration due to sun & temperature exposure. Loreto is a quiet & friendly gem.

Beautiful old mission/church. Full of history. Great artwork. Central location, pretty busy, touristy place. I wish we had a better guide.

A beautiful Mission is the heart of Loreto a seaside Unesco Heritage town in Mexico. It’s a wonderful Mission surrounded by the Square and many wonderful restaurants to choose from. We loved this town and walked everywhere. We exchanged Us Dollars for Peso’s at the local exchange. We checked out the Offices of Wild Loreto tours. We rode Mules on the Beach and ate and drank at the many places in Loreto soooo many good place’s I can’t mention them all just check out the pictures. Whale watching was the highlight of the trip

This is a really gorgeous church in the heart of one of our favorite places in Baja California, Loreto. It sits at the beginning of a beautiful walkway that leads out to the sea and includes a bunch of different bars, restaurants and boutiques. This is the spot to visit in Lareto if you’re looking to get an overall vibe of this place. If it’s during winter time, we’re a little jacket as it can get quite breezy, especially around sunset and closer to the water.

Beautiful building and gardens. Needs some maintenance. Serene service. Check out the cave painting museum next door.

A great historical place to visit, you can go on a mission tour from the California border all away to los Cabos. If you really think, how, where and when they were build is just amazing
