January 24, 2022 Venice Greaves

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!!

I went to this winery as part of my shore excursion when sailing on the carnival imagination out of long beach. This one of the oldest wineries in this country and i learned tons of great facts and history like Al Capone being supplied liquor from here during prohibition. I personally did not like the wines but a lot of people took home multiple bottles.

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.

Every time I’m in Ensenada I go to this place. The place is very clean and the girls are excellent Massage therapist. I had Mariela this time and she was very very good. In past I’ve had Olivia who is very good also, in fact I’ve never had a bad massage here. Treat yourself to a great massage.

La Bufadora

Roughly translated as "the snorter," this underwater cave regularly sucks in sea water and spits it out the cave's top drenching visitors to the site.

Such a natural wonder, that I was really disappointed to see how thronged with touristy shops and the tourist gauntlet that you have to go through to even reach La Bufadora. However, it was worth the journey. It impressed us all.

RESERVATIONS A MUST IF YOU WANT TO GO UP THE MOUNTAIN TO THERE CUTE RESTAURANT but you can chance it and try! Absolutely loved the place and service. It’s a must when your in Ensenada/Valle de Guadalupe. Great wine tasting, great food and an amazing view! The service was great. They charge you a certain amount to go to the restaurant but that money is put towards food and drinks which is so so worth it!!
