Tour the Old Missions in Baja, Mexico this October and see where California began!

A 4WD van with room for nine adventure seekers will be leaving San Diego on Oct. 20 for 10 days to visit up to 15 old mission sites, cave art from prehistoric tribes, old gold, silver and onyx mines from 100 years ago or more, beautiful beaches and desert scenery like no other on earth!

The famous California missions began in what is now called Baja California (it was the original 'California', 1535-1769).

Eighteen Spanish missions were founded BEFORE Junípero Serra (now Saint Junípero) founded Mission San Diego in July, 1769, as the 19th California mission. In fact, Serra's FIRST mission was founded two months earlier on his journey up the peninsula of Baja California! We will tour that mission (San Fernando de Velicatá).

The tour includes the van transportation, all meals, all accommodations, and my guide service for 10 days and 9 nights in beautiful Baja California.
