As a San Diego local, the best way to get to Ensenada is to drive. It is approximately 2 hours south. You will be crossing an international border during this drive so please check visa requirements on the 'Important Visa Information' page. Ensure you acquire third-party Mexican car insurance for the weekend as Mexico does not recognize American insurance. Please also refer to the Q&A below regarding toll roads.

We recommend flying into San Diego International Airport (LAX is also viable and often cheaper for international travelers but will be a 2-3 hour drive or train from San Diego). When you rent a car, please ensure the rental company knows you will be traveling to Mexico. If they do not provide it, you may need to get Mexican car insurance for the weekend as Mexico does not recognize American insurance.
