Loreto, Mexico Attractions

Constructed in 1699, San Javier Mission is the second-oldest mission in Baja California. A church that still holds regular services anchors the stone-and-masonry mission. A visit to San Javier is like being transported back to colonial Mexico - indeed, very little of the mission's grounds have been altered since its settlement.

Loreto Bay National Marine Park is more than just a national treasure, its status as a United Nations-classified World Heritage Site makes it one of the most important sanctuaries on the planet. Schools of fish radiating every color imaginable dart through its coral reefs, and sea turtles effortlessly glide through the cobalt-blue water.
