Today, we will dine at the world famous Puerto Nuevo Lobster Village and enjoy a traditional lobster meal. Afterwards, we will continue south to Ensenada.
The scenic road to Ensenada offers breathtaking views on the Pacific Ocean. A melting pot of adventurers seeking fortunes in nearby mines established the city of Ensenada on the shores of beautiful Todos Santos Bay. Today it is a pleasant city offering a Mediterranean climate, friendly people and a historical ambiance. Drive through its older streets and have lunch.  The hotel fronts a wide-open beach. Meet fellow participants, get to know your group leader and review the upcoming adventures while enjoying margaritas at a pre-dinner gathering.

Stops are made for nature walks and in Cataviña for lunch. Continue to Guerrero Negro, home of the largest salt plant in the world and one of the gray whale sanctuaries. Situated on the 28th. parallel, it marks the beginning of the Vizcaino World Biosphere, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to whales, migrant birds, endemic vegetation, gigantic rock art caves and the salt plant.
