Ancient Mission in Baja california

The Ancient Missions

The history of Baja California is deeply rooted in an ancient past, intrinsically tied to the arrival of European missionaries: first the Jesuits, followed by the Franciscans, and finally the Dominicans.

Like every chapter of colonisation, this period also carries a profound and undeniable dark side.

Mangrove Labyrinths

Coastal wetlands around the world represent a vital part of the habitat, providing nutrients to marine organisms and creating a natural nursery for young fish and marine invertebrates.
