Breezing Through Baja

Ensenada, Mexico, is a charming fishing port village located on the coast of Baja California. The picturesque scenery and inviting beaches make Ensenada an appealing resort destination for vacationers. And, as Baja peninsula's third largest city, Ensenada boasts a number of tourist attractions, restaurants and nightclubs, as well as plenty of opportunity for shopping and sightseeing. Here are ten Ensenada activities not to be missed:

1. Visit La Bufadora. La Bufadora, Spanish for "The Blowhole," is an amazing natural sea geyser. Over hundreds of years, the sea's erosion of the cliffs formed a cave. As the waves of the Pacific Ocean crash into the cave, water and foam shoot up out of an opening at the top of the cave, reaching a height of approximately 25 feet. The effect of this natural phenomenon is awe-inspiring-it appears and sounds like the blowhole of some gigantic whale! The site has become a popular tourist attraction and is a short trip south of Ensenada on an excursion bus. Botanical gardens and observation decks, as well as atmospheric lighting, make the spot an even more welcoming and beautiful place for tourists to visit.
