Guided Tour Recomended

The first time I went up to San Javier, we stopped to take pictures of the views, visited the Mision, walked around town a little, and returned to Loreto. My second trip was on a guided tour. I could not believe all the amazing things I learned about the desert, the history of the area, the local Rancheros, and of course, the Mision. This tour shows you such a special and unique part of the world that you really, really should take a guided tour.
