In 1699, Father Francisco Maria Piccolo founded the mission of San
Francisco Javier. It is situated on the sierra, 42 km from Loreto. It was
assigned to Father Juan de Ugarte 'the atiante of the Californias'. The
church of San Javier was built between the years of 1744 and 1759, by
father Miguel del Barco. It is the most beautiful and well preserved in
Baja California Sur. A visit to this site is recommended, especially for
those interested in history and ecology.
