ENSENADA SIGHTSEEING TOUR FIELD GUIDE
La Bufadora: Where the Pacific Explodes Against Ensenada’s Cliffs
A four-hour sightseeing tour from Surf Ensenada that brings you to one of the world’s largest marine geysers and a nearby strip of handicraft shops and street performances — this guide focuses on what you will see and how the visit unfolds.
La Bufadora: Where the Pacific Explodes Against Ensenada’s Cliffs.
Perched on the rugged coastline outside Ensenada, La Bufadora is a marine geyser produced when ocean swells funnel into a cliffside cave and force water and spray skyward. The Blow Hole La Bufadora Tour is a four-hour outing that pairs that raw ocean spectacle with a stroll through local shops, the chance to sample regional drinks, and the color of street artists performing nearby.
