La Bufadora - La Bufadora is about thirty minutes from Ensenada, in a seemingly remote section of Pacific coastline. If you drive through Ensenada, staying on the main road through town, you'll see signs to La Bufadora.

Just follow the signs through the countryside dotted with farms and campgrounds, along the rugged coastline, up, around and down until you reach the end of the road. There are several shops & restaurants. Also, you will find three observation decks and plenty of steps and short walls to sit on, safe from the Pacific 'rain'. If you like to get into the thick of things, though, go to the middle observation deck and hang over the wall with everyone else. From there you can look down about 45 feet into what looks like a rock crevice about 10 feet wide. The crevice, however, is actually the mouth of a cave. As the waves receed from the cave it fills with air. When the waves come back in, the water entering the cave compresses the air until it explodes, blowing the water as high as 90 feet into the air.

Granted, that isn't a terribly scientific explanation, but it gives you an idea. How high the water shoots up depends on the tide conditions. You might wait five or six minutes between swells and if you're impatient you might give up and walk away just before the show starts.

Whale Watching - Every year between he month of December and January the Wales begin to arrive proceeding from the cold waters of Alaska. The main objective for these enormous animals is to produce during winter in the warm and calm waters of the bays "Ojo de Liebre" and "San Ignacio" Located in Baja California "Sur" (South), returning North in the springtime.

Ensenada attracts its share of surfers, of course, though as you'll find throughout Baja it really pays to have your own transport. The best beaches are at Estero, some 10km to the south, 2km off the main road.
