Cusárare Mission
Misión de Cusárare
An adobe mission founded by the Jesuits in 1741, with walls painted with Rarámuri geometric patterns, next to the Loyola Museum of Religious Art.
The mission stands in the village of Cusárare, with adobe walls and a wooden roof. Its interior walls are decorated with traditional Rarámuri zigzag patterns, making it a unique church that blends two cultures. Next door, the Loyola Museum holds a collection of 18th-century colonial-era religious paintings, some of which have been restored and are now on display. It can be combined with Cascada de Cusárare for a half-day tour.
