Travel time from Rosarito to Ensenada


With the road problems does anyone have any guesses as to how long it will take us to get to Ensenada from Rosarito ? Thanks

Mood: Heading To Baja!!!

We did it in less than an hour on Friday. The detour on the free road is about 21 miles long and took us half an hour. The only bit of traffic we hit was going up the big hill outside La Mision. Pretty easygoing...

Travel time from Rosarito to Ensenada?


It took me 5 minutes longer to go from Ensenada to Rosarito than from Rosarito to Ensenada. How do you explain that?

I like that answer, but I think the accurate answer is that northbound traffic was likely heavier than the southbound traffic when you went south. I went north through there on Saturday (before the offshore winds picked up) and noted that the heavier northband traffic had two impacts: (1) not surprisingly, the travel on the free road south of La Mision was slower northbound (especially because we were in a long line of traffic behind a series of semis) and (2) it took longer for the northbound traffic to get through the intersection at the La Mision/La Fonda offramp from the southbound free road, which was being hand-directed by cops.
