We will share the exact location and recommended driving directions prior to your arrival.
Ensenada does not currently have an airport, so the closest are either Tijuana or San Diego.
If arriving from Los Angeles or San Diego, you will first need to travel to Tijuana in Baja California, Mexico. There are two routes from Tijuana, the fastest is via the toll road towards Tecate, but the coastal scenic route is also an option.
The 3 nearby border crossings are San Ysidro, Otay, and Tecate. The Tecate border crossing is the closest to Mira Earth Studios, but we recommend checking the closest one to your route as well as the current border crossing times when you are on your way. You can check border crossing times online or through the Border Traffic or CBP Border Wait Times apps. Be prepared with your passport and any necessary travel documents.
Ensure that you have Mexican auto insurance, as U.S. insurance may not cover you in Mexico.
We offer free on-site parking. Guests are responsible for safe vehicle operation and parking on our premises. We are not liable for accidents, damages, or losses related to driving or parking on our premises. Please exercise caution, especially in adverse conditions.
We recommend having a car to maximize your stay in the area. We recommend renting a car either in San Diego or Tijuana Airports.
If you want to arrive by helicopter, please let us know to help you arrange the service. This service is possible from Tijuana, San Diego and even LAX. Please note that if crossing a border, you will first need to make a quick stop in Ensenada to pass through immigration before continuing to the Valle de Guadalupe.
If crossing by foot, we recommend either Otay or San Ysidro ports in Tijuana. It is generally a simple process. We recommend typing “Garita de Otay” or “Linea San Ysidro Peatonal” into google maps, apple maps or waze.
Please keep in mind that it is generally quicker to cross later in the day, as mornings get congested with people crossing for work.
If you have Sentri or Global Entry, then the quickest way to cross the border is via Otay or San Ysidro Ports in Tijuana. The easiest way is to put “Otay Sentri” or “San Ysidro Sentri Lane” into google maps, apple maps or waze. If you do not have Sentri or Global Entry, then we highly recommend that you cross at the Tecate port as it is generally less crowded and easier to find your way into the line, whereas the general ports in Tijuana are complicated and stressful to navigate. Please keep in mind for both options it is generally quicker to cross later in the day, as mornings get congested with people crossing for work. You can check current border crossing wait times online or with the apps: Border Traffic or CBP Border Wait Times.

We also worked with other Mexican designers to source the furniture, Oaxacan ceramics amongst other elements in the room.
