La Bufadora, Marine geyser in Punta Banda Peninsula, Mexico
The natural blowhole propels seawater up to 30 meters high through a narrow rock passage created by wave movements against coastal caves.
The formation of La Bufadora occurred through centuries of geological processes where ocean waves carved tunnels into the rocky peninsula of Punta Banda.
Local merchants maintain a market near La Bufadora where visitors can purchase traditional Mexican crafts and regional food specialties from Baja California.
The observation platform provides direct views of water eruptions occurring every 13 to 17 seconds, with optimal viewing during high tide periods.
The marine geyser produces a characteristic deep sound when air compression forces water through the natural rock tunnel system.
