From Loreto: Historical San Javier Mission Tour with Lunch

Spend a half-day with an expert tour guide exploring the San Javier Mission, located only 1 hour away from Loreto.

Head up into La Giganta Mountain range and enjoy the fantastic panoramic mountain views that surround you.   You’ll then arrive at the mission, one of the best-preserved in Baja. Dating back to 1758, the surrounding village is inhabited by only 150 people, giving visitors the feeling of time travel.

Visit the remains of the ancient Jesuit’s missions before enjoying an authentic Mexican lunch at a local restaurant.

The tour was excellent. Upon arriving in Loreto from the cruise ship it was extremely easy to find the guide with the sign. Our tour guide/driver (Francisco) was just delightful. The van was very comfortable and immaculately clean. He was very knowledgeable, allowed a stop for pictures at our request, & showed us some interesting sights along the way. Loved the “off-road” excursion to see the olive tree. The San Javier Mission was very interesting and Francisco told us lots of interesting trivia/stories along the way. He booked a delicious Mexican lunch at the Mission & provided drinks for us. I would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Francisco 🙏

Excellent guide, Santos. Cruise excursion fully booked. That was our luck. We found this tour. Same locations and possibly more stops. Santos explained the history of the region and the peoples. He provided the proper botanical names of the the plants, and did not hesitate to assist in the restaurant to assure our lunch was served promptly and hot. Seemed like our meal offered more options. If not we are adventuresome eaters. Enchiladas that are nothing like what we get north of the border. Goat cheese that was perfect for the dish. Can not say enough good things about this tour.

I/ we really enjoyed our guide Leño. He has family and ancestral history to that area which added a personal touch to his narrative. He is an excellent driver and had a wonderful sense of humor. I would highly recommend this tour as they do the driving (quite a winding road), brings beverages and arranges lunch (in his uncle's restaurant!). The Mission church was intriguing and walking the property & learning about the surrounding land enriched the experience.

Tour was perfect! We were picked up right on time. Guide was so knowledgeable about the history, agriculture and plants. It is a must do tour.

Damian was a wonderful guide. Very informative. He grew up in Loreto and knew it all.
