We spent almost the entire day with Lizette as she took us all over Ensenada, and we had a great time! First, before the tour even started, I had mentioned to her I was having some headaches for lack of caffeine, when she showed up with the fan she had a cooler in the back for Mexico coke!
To start the day, we went to La Bufadora, the blow hole. Along the way, she talked about some of the history of Ensenada Mexico in general. Traffic was heavy, and she took some back roads which gave us a glimpse of how hard life can be for many in Ensenada, as well as farming and local life. We got lucky and the blow hole gave us a good show.
After the blow hole, we made a quick stop at the beach. We stopped at this little dirt parking lot and there was a little trail going through the field, we felt lost at first, but then we came up over the hill and it was a beautiful beach . Something off the beaten path most people would not typically see on a tour of Ensenada. Also, it was a unique experience and that there were tens of thousands of jellyfish that had washed up on the beach that week. Even the locals were amazing confused at what caused it.
Next, we headed to a zip line tour and spent the next couple of hours doing five zip lines and five rope bridges. At the end we stopped at a little shop and got some delicious ice cream bars.
Finally, to wrap up our tour, she took us to a tiny little taco shop in the middle of Ensenada that had amazing street tacos.
We were on a cruise, and didn't want to pay the prices that cruise excursions cost, so we were happy to find a Lizette and really happy with how the day went. I highly recommend others schedule time with Lizette as as well. read more
