This wonder of nature located in Punta Banda, 35 km from Ensenada, is mistakenly called a marine geyser.
In reality it is not a column of hot water that comes from the seabed, but rather a buffoon, a natural system of open chimneys in the cliff, through which the water rises with force at high tide hours, reaching heights close to the 30 meters.
According to a beautiful legend, La Bufadora was a baby whale that was trapped between the rocks, launching successive jets of water until it turned into stone.

Although the creation of the famous Margarita cocktail is disputed by various places in Baja California, the most widely accepted version is that it was the work of Carlos Orozco, a bartender at the Hussong’s Cantina, located on Avenida Ruiz 113 in Ensenada. Don Carlos liked to experiment and decided to offer the new cocktail to Margarita Henkel, daughter of the German ambassador, who lived in the city. The client liked the invention and the drink took her name. It would be unthinkable for you to go to Ensenada and not try this fantastic mix of tequila, triple sec and lemon juice, in its own place of origin, the Hussong’s Cantina, where there is also a great atmosphere, with typical music and shows.
