Detailed itinerary

1

First Stop: Authentic Flavors to Kick Off the Tour...

We’re starting the regional tour the way locals do — with breakfast at a hidden gem that tourists rarely find. This no-frills stand serves up rich, flavorful birria tacos and cheesy quesabirrias that locals swear by. It’s the real deal, straight from the source — no tourist traps, just unforgettable flavor.

2

Next Stop: Where Land Meets Ocean and History Meets Reality...

We’ll drive 20 minutes west toward the Pacific, arriving at the northwesternmost corner of Mexico — where the border fence stretches right into the ocean. Here, with the sound of waves in the background, we’ll dive into the complex history and evolution of the border itself. This powerful stop offers a deeper understanding of the region’s past, present, and the ongoing story of the U.S.-Mexico border.

3

Coastal Drive to Ensenada – Baja’s Scenic Route...

We’ll continue our journey south along the Pacific coastline with a beautiful 1-hour drive to Ensenada. This stretch of road offers some of the most stunning views in Baja — dramatic cliffs, deep blue ocean, and waves crashing against rocky shores.

4

The Devil’s Castle is located at kilometer 60 of the free highway Ensenada-Tijuana. The first thing you will notice when you see this house is a huge head with horns, inspired by Tony Wells, the creator of this interesting place, tribute to gothic architecture.

5

Stop at Mirador Salsipuedes – A View You Won’t Forget...

On our way to La Bufadora, we’ll make a special stop at Mirador Salsipuedes, just before reaching Ensenada. This scenic overlook offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the rugged Baja coastline — a perfect spot for unforgettable photos.

While you take in the fresh ocean breeze, you’ll also have the chance to enjoy local treats like fresh-cut fruit, traditional Mexican candies, and snacks sold by friendly local vendors. It’s a quick but memorable stop that captures the beauty and flavor of the region.

6

Explore the Heart of Ensenada – Culture, History & Coastal Charm...

Welcome to Ensenada, one of Baja California’s most iconic coastal cities. Known for its relaxed vibe and rich blend of culture, this charming port town has been a favorite getaway since the early 1900s — once a playground for Hollywood stars during Prohibition, and now a lively hub of local life.

As you explore Ensenada’s vibrant streets, you’ll discover colorful markets, historic landmarks, and authentic local flavors — from fresh seafood tacos to tostadas piled high with ceviche and other coastal delights. Stroll the waterfront, browse artisan shops, or simply soak in the laid-back energy that makes Ensenada so unforgettable.

This is where Baja’s spirit truly comes alive — a perfect mix of past and present, sea and city.

7

From the Coast to the Countryside – Journey to Valle de Guadalupe...

After exploring the vibrant coastal city of Ensenada, we’ll head inland on a scenic 30-minute drive to Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California’s beautiful wine and food region.

As we leave the ocean behind, the landscape transforms into rolling hills, olive trees, and vineyard-dotted valleys. Along the way, you’ll catch glimpses of rustic ranches, roadside stands, and the peaceful charm of Baja’s countryside.

Valle de Guadalupe offers a different side of the region — relaxed, earthy, and full of flavor. Get ready to experience the heart of Baja’s agricultural and culinary traditions in this unforgettable valley.

8

Discover Valle de Guadalupe – Handpicked Winery Visits Just for You...

In Valle de Guadalupe, we’ll visit two carefully selected wineries, chosen by your tour guide based on your personal wine preferences. Whether you enjoy bold reds, crisp whites, or something in between, we’ll tailor the experience to match your taste.

Each winery offers its own unique atmosphere — from modern tasting rooms to rustic, family-owned vineyards — giving you a true sense of the region’s diversity and charm. You'll have time to relax, take in the beautiful scenery, and enjoy a guided tasting of locally crafted wines.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all tour — it’s a personalized experience designed to help you discover your new favorite Baja wines.

9

Scenic Drive Back to Tijuana...

After an inspiring visit to Valle de Guadalupe, we’ll embark on a comfortable drive back to Tijuana. Enjoy the changing landscapes as we leave the peaceful vineyards behind and return to the vibrant energy of the city. This relaxing journey offers a chance to reflect on the day’s experiences and take in the unique beauty of Baja California’s countryside.

Once in Tijuana, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy some delicious local tacos before concluding the day.

10

Back to Tijuana – Taste Tacos Where the Locals Eat in Mexico’s Taco Capital...

After an unforgettable day in Valle de Guadalupe, we’ll return to Tijuana — the Taco Capital of Mexico — to enjoy tacos exactly where the locals go. This isn’t a tourist spot; it’s an authentic taco experience filled with bold flavors and traditional recipes that have made Tijuana famous.

From sizzling carne asada to spicy adobada, you’ll savor the best street tacos that capture the heart and soul of this vibrant city. It’s the perfect way to end your Baja journey before we head back to the border or your drop off location.

11

Tour Conclusion – Safe and Convenient Return...
