Jack Swords finds Jesuit ruin near Cabo


Actually, it is between Todos Santos and Cabo San Lucas, east of Elias Calles.

The church ruin is at San Jacinto, GPS 23? 14.570 N X 110? 04.615 W

Jack has INAH authority to document historic sites with photos and GPS before weather and humans take them away.

Collaborative effort!


Thanks David for posting the photos for those interested. This was a collaborative effort of Ed Vernon and myself following a tidbit of info in an old book by Tom?s Robertson. Ed followed up by meeting a source at his booksigning who gave us a name in La Paz for more info on this site. To be continued...

What do we know?


What do we know about the site? I am just back from a trip to New Mexico to photograph mission and community churches from the 17th to early 19th centuries. Also included a stop in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua and El Paso. Took over 500 photos, including a bunch of petroglyphs near Albuquerque. I am attaching a shot of N.S. de Guadalupe, a Franciscan mission established in 1659. Now a part of Ciudad Juarez.
