Ensenada is a destination that has attracted the attention of travelers seeking delicious cuisine, natural wonders and extensive vineyards. Here you can enjoy Mediterranean-inspired dishes with an urban touch, while sipping an exquisite local wine.
In its surroundings, you can discover natural wonders such as La Bufadora, with a breathtaking marine blowhole. Between December and May, you can spot majestic gray whales on the horizon.
The climate, the mountains and the sea together make the Bahía de Todos Santos bay a tourist spot par excellence, and have turned the fishing town of Ensenada into an international hotspot. Ensenada’s port and colorful plazas are sometimes bustling, and at other times tranquil, but always the perfect place to make memories. A place of contrasts, the boats tethered in the quay vary between quaint fishing boats returning with nets full, and vast cruise liners filled with tourists come to explore.
The beaches of this beautiful port offer dreamlike landscapes and various activities for all tastes.
Thrill seekers can enjoy surfing or windsurfing in the waves; guests hoping for a relaxing break can take sailboat trips; fishing enthusiasts can seek their prize catch in Ensenada’s waters. Or how about golf or cycling? Even while in-land, you can enjoy the sea breeze and sands.
The warmth of the sea attracts one of the area’s most anticipated guests every year: the gray whale. The sea here is ever changing; sometimes aqua, sometimes indigo, but always bountiful, allowing locals to raise tuna, mussels and abalone.
The Mediterranean climate has paired with the aridity of the peninsula and has made its fertile valleys the perfect environment to produce grapes and hops, as well as organic crops and cheeses.
