Driving to Ensenada?
Driving to Ensenada is easy. Crossing the international border or coming from Tijuana in the North, take the Playas de Tijuana exit or Rosarito/Ensenada Toll Road exit. The Playas de Tijuana road turns into the Tijuana-Ensenada Toll Road. After a 70 minute scenic route overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean, you’ll arrive in Ensenada. Be prepared to pay the toll (currently in the $2.35 per toll) which also doubles for insurance while on the toll road (however, you are still required to have insurance by Mexican law). There are three toll stations on your way. There is also a “Free Road” or Carretera Libre which runs from downtown Tijuana to Ensenada avoiding all tolls. The route is longer, but is also a nice scenic drive. You can even drive part of the way on the toll road & part of the way on the free road.
