Destinations

Tijuana

Even though Tijuana’s history is less than 120 years old, the city has become quite a metropolis. Legend and modernity blend together in a city known for being the busiest border crossing in the world for both tourism venturing into Baja and for business.

The city offers a wide menu of Mexican and international restaurants and different activities such as dancing, sports betting, boxing, bullfighting, greyhound and horse racing, among others. There are year-long cultural and entertainment activities for all ages and also variety in one of the most complete nightlife scenes in all México.

Shopping is a must in Tijuana; be it handcrafted Mexican products you can find strolling down Avenida Revolución or brand name clothing and perfumes in the city’s many shopping centers.

Accommodations are no problem in Tijuana, as plenty of first-class hotels are easy to find at affordable rates. So there’s no excuse to experience México’s main border city first hand.

Rosarito

Just a 20 minute drive south of Tijuana along the coastline lies the growing city of Rosarito.  Offering beautiful beaches and resorts as well as nightspots any visitor can choose between relaxing and partying, though most will end up doing both! Other beaches and ranches nearby offer camping, horse-riding and other stimulating outdoor activities. Surfing is also another activity popular in Rosarito and its vicinity. There are plenty of good restaurants around, and Puerto Nuevo, with its world famous lobster, is just a few miles away. Rosarito is no stranger to a good night-life, having plenty of nightclubs open throughout most of the year.

The Rosarito area hosts real estate development projects going on, so it’s not that difficult to find some nice beautiful beachfront property for longer stays.

Aside from the tourist area of Rosarito, there are also other commercial activities such as industry, agriculture and stockbreeding, thus making Rosarito more than a resort beach for tourists.

Ensenada

It is not just the sea-side city, but the largest municipality in Baja California. Its territorial waters both in the Pacific Ocean as in the Gulf of California make it one of the country’s largest areas for fishing and whale-watching; and its mountains are part of two high-sierra mountain systems, which make them a great place for camping and hiking. The Mediterranean climate and its location in the Northern Hemisphere Wine Region makes the Valle de Guadalupe Mexico’s prime wine producing area and there are ways to explore it.

Ensenada has had its share of legend, as it resisted pirate invasions during past centuries and became the State’s first capital. The port of Ensenada as well as its location less than 100 miles from the border with the United States makes it one of Mexico’s main gates to commerce with countries from this continent and Asia. Seafood is a must, available in elegant restaurants as well as in stands on the streets and specialized areas in the city. Not far from Ensenada (about 17 miles towards the coast) is “La Bufadora” marine geyser, one of Mexico’s most beautiful wonders of nature.

Ensenada has sea, mountain, desert, and other different attractions year long that make it worthwhile to venture into inner Baja.

Mexicali

Even though Mexicali is located in a desert, the vicinity is well known for its agricultural developments throughout its valley and its multiple industry complexes in  the city. The beautiful state capital hosts different museums, and is famous for its Baja style Chinese food restaurants. Mexicali also hosts seasonal events like bullfighting, theatre and an annual progressive rock festival with artists from all the globe, among other important events.

A few hours from Mexicali is the port of San Felipe, one of the Gulf of California’s main vacation spots with beautiful sunny beaches. This coastline area of the Mexicali municipality is also important for its fishing, where species gather to widen the area’s food supply. And for camping and hiking, Río Hardy is not far away and you can’t miss the beautiful sightseeing at Laguna Salada. Visiting the state capital area is as fun as visiting just about every other place in Baja.
