San Ignacio Mission

In the 18th century the Misión de San Ignacio de Arareco was established by the Jesuits near Creel, Chihuahua, Mexico. It ministers to a Tarahumara or Rarámuri community dispersed in the surrounding forests. The church has an ascetic whitewashed interior with benches along the walls. A painting of San José del Buen Consejo hangs there. Semana Santa (Easter) is passionately celebrated in this area with indigenous dances and processions.

Simplicity and beauty at first impression. On a deeper read Jesuits forcing their ways. The story of the Americas

A very nice church in a rural village near Creel. We cycled there & at the end my fekkin derailleur snapped off! We were in trouble but a friendly guide didn’t hesitate to give us a lift back to Creel!

Good please to find yourself

Des frais d'admission s'appliquent pour accéder à la réserve. On a donc contribué à une bonne oeuvre. La belle chapelle à l'allure pittoresque était fermée.

Excelente para conocer un poco más de las tradiciones y costumbres del lugar
