How to get there?
Modern airports and a very secure highway system have made the untamed landscapes of Baja California available to the world. International airports such as Tijuana, the fourth most important in the country and the bridge between Latin America and Asia, or Mexicali, connecting the most important cities in Mexico, the United States and Canada, offer visitors first-class aeronautical facilities. In turn, Ensenada and San Felipe have very good airports for private use, which make air transport even more efficient.
The main air gateway to the State is Tijuana International Airport, B.C. where there is service from the main national airlines to all parts of the country. An average of 120 flights are carried out daily, the airport has two runways with lengths of 9 and 12 thousand feet that cover the different needs of commercial and private flights.
There are also airports in San Felipe and Ensenada but they do not operate commercial flights, however, there are 14 daily flights in Mexicali with three of the main airlines in Mexico.
Roads
In addition to the above, the state has the high-altitude port of Ensenada, which is visited by cruise ships from Southern California. If you want to get to the state by land, you can drive by car, or use the services of the different bus lines that operate in the State. Baja California has a quality road network that connects major cities and municipalities.
By land, Baja California is backed by roads that link the state's main destinations and lead to the southernmost point of the peninsula. Whether you are traveling in your car or by bus, the Scenic Highway, the link between Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada, is recommended for appreciating the beautiful marine images.
Federal 1, also known as Transpeninsular, which runs from Tijuana to La Paz; or federal 2, which connects Tecate and Mexicali and crosses La Rumorosa. Federal Highway 3 starts in Tecate heading to the port of Ensenada where it crosses the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez connecting Ensenada and San Felipe, the recently remodeled federal 5 runs from Mexicali to San Felipe.
