Mission San Luis Bacoancos

San Luis Bacoancos, also called San Luis de Babi,[1] was a Spanish mission in the Sonoran desert.

Jesuit missionary Eusebio Kino established the site in January 1697.

It was designated as a visita of Mission Los Santos Ángeles de Guevavi in 1701, under the authority of the missionary priest Juan San Martin.

A church was built sometime before 1706.
