Visita de San Telmo
# Visita de San Telmo

The Visita de San Telmo was a Catholic visita located along the Arroyo de San Telmo in Baja California, Mexico. The visita was founded by Dominican missionaries sometime between 1798 and 1800 as an extension of Misión Santo Domingo de la Frontera.

## Overview

The visita was located about 26 km (16 mi) to the northwest of Misión Santo Domingo de la Frontera and 34 km (21 mi) south of Misión San Vicente Ferrer.

When geographer Peveril Meigs investigated the area in 1926, he identified two areas on the Arroyo de San Telmo that had apparently been developed for agricultural use by the Dominicans: San Telmo de Arriba and San Telmo de Abajo, the latter being about 4 kilometers downstream to the southwest from the former.
