Trip of the Month: Baja California Norte

About Baja California Norte

Baja California Norte is a unique place known primarily as the border state that connects Mexico with Southern California. Boasting a breathtaking landscape that is comprised of four major mountain ranges and lovely coastal towns, Northern Baja is most commonly known for its municipality of Tijuana, the most visited town in all of Mexico. But it's the uniqueness of this border city alongside the beauty of the port town of Ensenada, the tranquility of Rosarito beach, and the charm of places like San Felipe that make Baja California Norte such a beautifully versatile state. The increasing popularity of this area for its wine production has added to the cultural offerings, with various vineyards scattered around the state that complement an already robust amount of sporting attractions.

Tijuana's urban culture isn't the traditional Mexico—but is slowly becoming more reputable with new cultural and sporting attractions, extensive shopping, and strong business growth that are brightening its image. It provides a nice contrast to the towns further south from the border. Ensenada is a lovely port city that features great sport fishing, surfing, and more of the Mexican culture that one might seek out of a beach town. It provides a beautiful backdrop from which to relax and enjoy a Mexican sunset. Likewise, Rosarito Beach has become more of a resort town after the movie Titanic was filmed here, and visitors will find a great beach equipped with all the modern amenities to which they are accustomed.

The versatility of Baja California Norte make it a worthy trip indeed; join us this month we explore all that this area has to offer.
