San José del Cabo, Mexico
Misión Estero de las Palmas de San José del Cabo Añuití
Mission San José del Cabo was the southernmost of the Jesuit missions on the Baja California peninsula, established in 1730 on the outskirts of the modern city of San José del Cabo in Baja California Sur, Mexico. The southern cape of the Baja California peninsula had been an often-visited landmark for Spanish navigators for nearly two centuries when a mission was finally established at the Pericú settlement of Añuití in 1730 by Nicolá Tamaral. The Río San José, or San José River, stops just shy of the ocean, with a one kilometer long sand bar creating an estuary, the third largest in Mexico.
