The mission may have first been established close to the beach, but within two years was moved into the canyon. A stone walled church, dam, aqueduct, reservoir, and other mission structures were built there, and ruins of them remain to this day. In 1734, Padre Guillén wanted to move the mission out of the canyon and go about 15 miles to the southwest for better farmland and easier access to the majority of Guaycura people. The Pericú Indian rebellion ... interrupted the move until 1741. The new Dolores location had been a visita called 'La Pasión', and known locally as Tañuetía ('The Place of Ducks') or Chillá. After the move, the Dolores mission was more typically called La Pasión, which has caused some confusion with history writers; Following the 1767 ordered removal of the Jesuits from their missions, Spain's Visitador General José de Gálvez ordered the mission closed in September, 1768. The mission's 450 neophytes were relocated to Todos Santos; The Dolores Apaté site is one of Baja California's most remote and no road goes to it; The La Pasión (Los Dolores Chillá) site can be driven to in an SUV ... Only rubble from the church remains and a goat ranch was recently reported operating on top of the site; Dolores-Apaté; Dolores Chillá)
    • found: Wikipedia, Sept. 6, 2017:English page (Misión Nuestra Señora de los Dolores del Sur Chillá; The Jesuit missionary Clemente Guillén founded Mission Dolores in 1721, on the Gulf coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico, about midway between Loreto and La Paz in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Dolores drew its initial neophytes from the earlier, unsuccessful mission at Malibat or Ligüí to the north. In 1723, the mission site was moved to the Guaycura settlement of Apaté, about 4 kilometers inland from the coast. It was moved again in 1741 by Lambert Hostell to a location which had previously functioned as its visita of La Pasión, known as Chillá or Tañuetía ("place of the ducks"), about 25 kilometers southwest of Apaté. The mission was subsequently reduced to the status of a visita of Mission San Luis Gonzaga. It was finally abandoned in 1768, when the Franciscans took over control of the Baja California missions from the Jesuits. The remaining neophytes were relocated to Todos Santos) Spanish page (Misión de Dolores de Chillá; Misión de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de Chillá; Dolores del Sur)

There is no visible evidence of the original mission structures near the beach; In 1741, the headquarters of Misión Dolores was moved in an effort to find more reliable water; The site selected was 15 miles southwest ... with the Indian place name of Chillá, where a visita of Misión Dolores, called La Pasión by the Spanish, was sited.
