La Bufadora

Ah yes, a *beautiful* place... wrapped in the glittery gift wrap of a tourist trap. It lured us in with stunning views and then immediately hit us with “Buy this! No, *this!* Also, why aren’t you tipping me for breathing near you?” It was like strolling through a scenic maze of aggressive sales pitches. I swear, if one more stall owner shouted “Special price just for you!” I was going to hand them Monopoly money and see if they noticed. Tipping culture here? Wild. It’s like they heard about tips once in a dream but missed the part where it’s optional and for *good service*, not just for existing in the same zip code. Restrooms? Spotless! But entry might cost you up to \$1, so I hope your bladder carries spare change. It’s the first time I’ve peed and felt like I was at a vending machine. As for the prices—rumored to be “cheaper” than back home? Lies. Some things were California-level expensive, and I’m 99% sure they were charging me the “you look like you don’t haggle” rate. All in all, it *was* a beautiful place to see… once. Just once. I’ve had my fill of scenic views, unsolicited trinkets, and \$1 bathroom adventures.

It’s beautiful here. It’s not packed early morning during the week. You pay about $50 for parking. And to use the bathroom. It ranges from $10 to $20 depending where you use the bathroom. The vendors can be really nice but, pushy. I usually just keep walking if I don’t want anything because I can’t tell everybody no it would take me forever to get through. They have churros that are delicious they will give you samples. One vendor will sell them for $150 pesos the one across from you will sell them for $100 I wouldn’t pay more than $100. The Bufadora is the second largest geyser the first largest is in Hawaii. I think it was beautiful to see a nice drive to get there from downtown Ensenada, but I think It was worth it to see it live. I went as a kid when. I was about 10 years old and now 42 years later at 52 it’s a lot. Bigger than I remember. I would recommend going here.

A small but interesting tourist excursion in Ensenada, Mexico. Probably one of the best things to see in this area. Although you have to walk through a street full of pushy vendors, you will experience A beautiful, Natural, blowhole water spout at the end. Nearby a long row of souvenir shops and food/drinks.

Instill don't understand what's the phenomenon that causes the water to raid sonhigh out of the blue! When we were there, it was interesting to see it at first all foggy and then cleared as we were about to leave! You can enjoy a number of Mexican snacks like diced fruit, trash flavored water, ice cream, sherbet, ice popsicles, etc. Great place for photos and refresh as the bufadora starts buffing 🌊

A little underwhelming, but it's amazing that there are so few of these on earth. Our tour guide Cesar was amazing and the endless shops, vendors, and food options (along with a million tequila flavors and tastings) made the trip more worthwhile. I'd recommend it.

I recently visited La Bufadora while on my cruise last week and I loved it! I took a bus with a group over to the blowhole. It’s an amazing experience. I did the tour with Priscilla. It’s worth doing the round trip with the bus as it’s a decent price around $25 USD.

What a beautiful place with lots of shopping, food and scenic viewpoints. It was an incredible experience and I got to see the la Bufadora splash water. Highly recommend you check this place out!

If you're planning a trip to Ensenada, La Bufadora is an absolute must-see! Nestled on the scenic Punta Banda Peninsula, this natural marine geyser is one of the largest blowholes in North America—and it’s nothing short of spectacular. Imagine standing on a cliffside, the salty breeze in your hair, as the ocean crashes into a hidden sea cave below. Suddenly, with a thunderous roar, a towering column of seawater erupts up to 100 feet into the air, mist sparkling in the sunlight. It’s a breathtaking display of nature’s power and beauty that will leave you in awe. But La Bufadora is more than just a geyser—it's an experience: • 🛍️ Stroll through vibrant local markets filled with handmade crafts, souvenirs, and delicious street food. • 🌮 Taste authentic Baja flavors, from fresh seafood to churros and tropical fruit drinks. • 📸 Capture unforgettable photos with panoramic ocean views and the dramatic geyser in the background. • 🕒 Best time to visit? During high tide and midday, when the sun lights up the spray and the waves are at their strongest. Whether you're an adventurer, a nature lover, or just looking for a unique day trip, La Bufadora offers a perfect blend of excitement, culture, and coastal charm.
