Ensenada Municipality, Coastal administrative division in Baja California, Mexico
The municipality of Ensenada extends along the Pacific coast with mountains meeting the ocean across 52,000 square kilometers of territory.
The region transformed from a small settlement in 1882 to become the third largest city in Baja California by the early 21st century.
Local institutions actively promote scientific research through multiple centers dedicated to marine biology, astronomy, and agricultural biotechnology studies.
The Port of Ensenada handles substantial maritime traffic, serving as Mexico's second largest seaport with facilities for cargo ships and cruise vessels.
The area receives approximately 280 millimeters of rainfall annually, creating specific conditions for wine production in the nearby Guadalupe Valley.
