The drawback were the over-enthusiastic vendors. Some knew when to quit bothering us, some not. La Bufadora itself was impressive, although a tough walk for the elderly. I was allowed to bring my vehicle closer to pick up my mother in law, as she was tired. You will pay to park, but don’t follow the guy at the first entrance. Another 500 feet down the road is a 2nd entrance, which gets you closer.

Amazing views, bring dry clothes :) Yep, you do have to walk through 10 minutes of people trying to sell you churros and tequila but just smile and say no thank you if you don’t want any. The views are amazing and the blow hole is fascinating. We did get soaking wet but you know what we came away with souvenir Ensenada hoodies!

I took a shore excursion from the Carnival Radiance. It is a 30-40 min drive from Ensenada. When you get there, there is a street of about 2 blocks filled with stores, food stands and bars selling almost anything from jewelry, fake Gucci bags, Chinese toys, souvenirs, and fresh food. The vendors are very pushy and they give out lots of free samples. The blowhole was crowded and it shoots up very frequently. This is a big tourist hot spot. Great views too!

We had a chance to visit La Bufadora during our recent trip to Ensenada. It's sometimes called a geyser, but the blowhole is really caused by rising pressure in the caves below the cliff. It goes off every 30 seconds or so and sends a large spray in the air. Kind of interesting but not a huge deal. The real experience is walking the line of the many, many shops that you are required to pass to reach the site. Many of the sellers are pretty aggressive. They are passing out free shots of tequila and lots are offering medications to fit your every need. Fun if you are into that sort of thing.
