Located only 80 km (50 mi) from the México - U.
S.
border, Ensenada is one of Baja California Norte’s most attractive cities.
Enjoy endless activities, suited for any and all tastes, from a relaxing day in its beautiful beaches, a blissful day at some of the best spas in the country, or a game of golf in one of its many courses, to a day full of adventure, zip-lining, kayaking, or scuba diving.
But what everyone loves about Ensenada is the food, suited for all moods: with its food carts offering a variety of local foods, regional restaurants offering an authentic taste of México, or truly haute-cuisine informed my Mexican tradition or international influences, always with some of the best wines in the country.
