Template:Short description Template:Infobox Missions The Visita de San Telmo was a Catholic visita located along the Arroyo de San Telmo in Baja California, Mexico.

Location of the Visita de San Telmo among the Spanish missions in Baja California

The visita was located about Template:Cvt to the northwest of Misión Santo Domingo de la Frontera and Template:Cvt 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.
