The 10 Best Budget-friendly Things to do in Ensenada, Baja California Norte

January 26, 2022 Myesha Cogley

In Ensenada, only 80 miles south of San Diego, travelers can get a taste of Mexican food, culture and nightlife. Californians flock to this beautiful seaport town, one of the largest on the Baja peninsula, for rest, relaxation and excellent outdoor recreation activities. From surfing and sea kayaking to horseback riding and mountain biking, even the most discerning sportsperson will be impressed. Ensenada's nightlife is also a big draw. Papas and Beer and Hussong's Cantina serve up an on-going party atmosphere and lots of tequila, while nearby vineyards offer wine tasting in a more traditional and serene setting. Nature enthusiasts are wowed by the sight of gray whales and the underwater cave that randomly squirts water at onlookers. Whatever your interests, enchanting Ensenada will not disappoint.

I was hosting a bachelorette party in the Valle de Guadalupe wine country, and the bride LOVES massages, so we were on the hunt for some therapists to come to the air bnb. Jesse was super professional and communicative. He and his therapists were professional and really went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. The price was great for the level of service and professionalism we received. I highly recommend this company and experience for any Valle de Guadalupe bachelorette party!!

Hussong's Cantina

Legendary expatriate bar where literary greats would share ideas over drinks: now a place where you can get drunk, feign pretension and buy a touristy T-shirt to commemorate your trip.
