Rancho Las Parras Chapel, Baja California Sur, Mexico
View Original Description
Rancho Las Parras, a small 200 year old chapel on the way to San Javier Mission.
Each year, during the Feast of San Javier (December 1 – 3), Catholic pilgrims from around Mexico come to Loreto to hike or ride donkeys up the hill to the San Javier cathedral. This chapel was built as a place for pilgrims to stop, rest, and pray before finishing their trek.
The property was previously owned by the De los Santos family — three sisters who, prior to the youngest’s death, sold the property to a Loreto businessman for just a few hundred dollars. The sisters were all buried on site.
