Ensenada, Port city in Baja California, Mexico

Located on Bahía de Todos Santos, Ensenada extends along the Pacific Coast with beaches, commercial districts, and maritime terminals across 30 meters of elevation.

The settlement originated in 1882 when Rancho Ensenada de Santos became the regional capital of the northern Baja California Territory during mining developments.

The Kumeyaay indigenous people established their village Pa-tai in the region before European exploration, maintaining connections to their ancestral traditions.

The Port of Ensenada functions as Mexico's second-largest maritime facility, handling international cargo and serving as a stop for cruise ships.

The surrounding area contains numerous research institutions, including marine science centers that study the Pacific Ocean's ecosystems and maritime phenomena.
