Mexican Riviera

Ensenada, Mexico

Baja's easy-going port town, with a sea geyser and a valley of vineyards nearby.

Ensenada sits on Todos Santos Bay in Baja California, about 80 miles south of San Diego. It is the usual stop on short cruises from Southern California. Visitors head for La Bufadora, a blowhole that shoots seawater high into the air, the wine country of the Valle de Guadalupe and the fish taco stands near the harbour.
