This means that the travel expert, who now lives in Germany, has full knowledge of the region, something that only native people can offer. For more than 24 years, she and her team have organized trips to the remotest places of their place of origin, which mass tourism has not yet discovered.

Entrance to the Mission San Ignacio.

San Ignacio

The place is in the middle of the rugged moor between Guerrero Negro and Santa Rosalía. In 1728 the Jesuit Juan Bautista Loyando established a mission here to convert the Cochimí Indians who live there.

The mission and the plaza upstream continue to form the center of the quiet little town, which is home to a few hundred residents, and gives it a colonial feel.

San Ignacio is also an oasis, the San Ignacio underground river rises to the surface here. Diverse plants and animal species in a green forest and palm trees delight the eye and make San Ignacio an unreal contrast to the surrounding desert landscape.
