Baja California Sur |
 | | It is bordered to the north by the state of Baja California Norte, to the west by the Pacific Ocean, and to the south and east by the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortes. |
 | | This is attested by the existence of sound higher education institutions, such as the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur, the Regional Technological Institute, the Pedagogic University, the State School of Music and several high-level scientific research institutions. |
 | | All of their early efforts to colonize the region failed, and it was not until the arrival of the Jesuits that permanent human settlements took root, with the establishment of the missions of Loreto (1697) and San Javier (1699) by the missionaries Eusebio Francisco Kino, Juan Maria Salvatierra, and Juan de Ugarte, among others. |
