You will need a passport book or card to travel into Mexico if you do not wish to have any delays.

There are many options to get to Ensenada, if traveling from the US.

If you are coming from Arizona and driving, the total travel time will range from 6 to 7 hours. You will most likely cross through the Tecate Border into Tijuana, but there are many border crossing stations to choose from. You can plan out what route works best for you.

There is the option to first travel to San Diego by car or plane, rest, and then travel the rest of the way to Ensenada, which is about 2 hours from San Diego.

You can also fly into Tijuana directly and rent a car to drive to Ensenada. A rental car from the Tijuana airport can be as low as $18/day. The drive from the TJ airport to Ensenada is 1.5 hours.

For anyone traveling by car into Mexico, crossing the border back into the US can take as long as 6 to 8 hours on a weekend. The wait times are dramatically lower if you cross on a weekday in the early afternoon. Please plan accordingly and keep this in mind for your journey back home. It could be worth considering staying and enjoying Ensenada until Monday.

If traveling by car, there are options to allow you to use the "fast lanes" to cross if you have Sentri or a passport card. The passport card allows you to use the "Ready Lane" at the border and Sentri allows you to use the "Sentri" designated lanes. The wait times for these lanes are usually more than half the time it takes in the regular border crossing lanes. A passport book does not allow you to use the "Ready Lane". We strongly encourage you to look into these options if traveling by car.
