Get in

• Take the Bus from Tijuana for roughly $15.

• Drive across the border from San Ysidro. Go in the morning and you will be going the opposite direction of the nigtmare traffic of over an hour wait trying to get into the U.S.. Once in Tijuana, follow the signs to Rosarito and Ensenada on route 1. There will be three toll stops en route to Ensenada. These tolls cost $2.35 each or 26.00 Pesos. You can pay with US dollars or Pesos, but no mixed currency. The road is well maintained and is an enjoyable ride along the beautiful Baja coastline. If you go in spring and early summer, the wildflowers on the hillsides are gorgeous. The ride from Tijuana to Ensenada takes approximately 1-1.5 hours. Stop in Puerto Nuevo for some mexican lobster dinners. There are many rest areas and vista points along the way. AAA and other travel mags recommend that you only drive in Mexico during the day for safety reasons. They also advise you not to stop for broken-down motorists because this is a common trap set by banditos who are out for your cash.

• Cruise Ships Ensenada has become a regular stop for several lines of cruise ships since the 80's. Although this is certainly the most expensive means to travel to Ensenada, it is also the most fun.

Get around

See

• Fox Studios Ensenada was the location for much of the at-sea filming of James Cameron's "Titanic". They offer tours.
• The Baja 1000 Off-Road race sometimes starts or passes through Ensenada.

Buy

Eat

• Fish Tacos - The Fish Taco is said to have been born in Ensenada (or possibly San Felipe). The local style includes deep-fried seafood, with a white sauce and a shredded-cabbage topping, along with several salsas. Dining at the row of fish and shrimp taco eateries by the pier is an Ensenada must.
• Taqueria El Fenix is a local favorite and serves delicious tacos, both shrimp and fish.

Drink

• Hussongs - Legendary and historic bar.
• Papas & Beer - Another legendary and historic bar right across the street from Hussongs.

Sleep

El Coral is a beautiful hotel with amazing bathrooms and views. Located on the main road between the end of the toll road and downtown.

Get out

• The city of Ensenada is located on the Ensenada harbor, so you'll have to drive south of town to get to the local beach; try Estreo Beach which also has a hotel, restaurant and some facilities.

• San Carlos Hot Springs (Aguas Termales), which features pipe-fed hot pools, cold pool, and mud pool as well as showers and camping, is popular with the locals, despite a 10-mile rocky dirt road with 13 (or so) shallow water crossings; medium-clearance vehicles are reccommended. Head five miles south of town on the road to San Quintin, turn East at the golf course and follow the signs - or ask the locals.

• La Bufadora or "blow-hole" is located in a small village several miles southwest of town. The main street is crowded with tourist-trap shops selling curios and perscription medicines, but the Bufadora itself is a rather remarkable natural sea vent. The local cove offers camping, swimming, kayaking and scuba, including a small dive shop with rentals; the cove is especially cold water. Locals eat at the Buf Adora restaurant.

• Many wineries exist on the outskirts of Ensenada and an hour south at Santo Thomas. Most offer tours and tastings.
