I visited 9 beautiful SPANISH MISSIONS during my Baja California roadtrip!
Join me on an unforgettable month-long Baja California road trip, where I explored 9 iconic Spanish missions steeped in history and culture. From well-preserved churches to ancient ruins, each mission tells a story of faith, resilience, and the rich heritage of the Baja Peninsula.
The Spanish missions of Baja California were established by Jesuit, Franciscan, and Dominican missionaries from the late 17th to early 19th centuries. Their goal was to convert and educate the native populations while also expanding Spain’s influence in the New World. These missions not only introduced Christianity but also brought agriculture, architecture, and new technologies to the region. Today, they stand as powerful reminders of Baja’s colonial past, blending Spanish and indigenous cultures.
In this video, we discover the fascinating legacy of these historic sites:
– Misión San José de Comondú: Nestled in a peaceful oasis, with charming stone architecture.
– Misión de Nuestra Señora del Pilar de La Paz Airapí: The first mission of La Paz.
– Misión de Nuestra Señora de Loreto Conchó: The birthplace of California’s mission system.
– Misión San Juan Bautista (Ruins): The hauntingly beautiful remains of this historic mission.
– Misión Santa Rosalía de Mulegé: Overlooking a lush river oasis with stunning views.
– Misión San Francisco Borja: A remote desert mission frozen in time.
– Misión San Fernando de Velicatá (Ruins): The last mission founded by the legendary Junípero Serra.
– Misión San Francisco Javier de Viggé-Biaundó: an 18th-century mission known for its stunning baroque architecture.
– Misión San Ignacio Kadakaamán: A beautifully preserved mission surrounded by date palms.
Whether you’re a history buff, an adventure traveler, or just curious about Baja’s cultural treasures, this road trip will inspire you to explore beyond the beaches.
