Ziplining at Las Cañadas then La Bufadora blowhole with taco break

The Experience

We were already laughing by the time we spotted our guide holding up my name outside the Ensenada port—felt kind of like being in a movie. The van smelled faintly of sunscreen and leather seats, and our driver, Luis, pointed out fields of something green (I forget what he said it was—maybe broccoli?) as we headed south. I didn’t expect how fast the city would fade into hills and dusty roads. At Las Cañadas Campground, they handed us helmets that still felt a bit warm from the sun. My hands were shaking more than I’d admit while clipping onto the first zipline. You can hear kids yelling somewhere below, but up there it’s just wind in your ears and that weird metallic whir as you fly over trees. I think my stomach stayed behind on the second line.

After all five ziplines (plus those wobbly canopy bridges—I nearly chickened out), we peeled off our harnesses and tried to brush dust off our jeans. Luis handed us cold water bottles before driving us toward La Bufadora. The air changed near the coast—salty, almost fishy—and you could hear vendors calling out “cajeta!” and “tequila tasting!” before you even saw the blowhole. We wandered through stalls selling candies and souvenirs; I tried to ask about a carved turtle in Spanish but probably butchered it because the lady just smiled and handed me a sample instead. When La Bufadora finally erupted—like a giant exhale—the spray hit my face and everyone cheered without meaning to. Some little kid shrieked with laughter behind me.

We ended up at this taco stand our guide swore by—not fancy at all, just plastic stools and salsa stains on the counter. The tortillas were warm enough to burn my fingers a little, but honestly? Best bite of the day. I still think about that smoky grilled fish taco when I’m hungry at home. On the drive back, Luis offered to drop us anywhere—First Street for shopping or straight to the ship—but we were tired in that good way where your legs feel heavy from sun and adrenaline.
