Creator's Key Takeaways

We just docked in Ensanada. We're going on the tacos, brews, and views tour that we got through Viaur.

This actually worked out so well for us. It was $50 per person. We got 40% back, which brought it down to $30 per person.

It was so cool to be able just to go and experience a different part of Ensanada.

Ensanada is the Nassau of Mexico where it's part of almost every single cruise out of those ports. And not everybody loves it. Some people don't even get off the ship. But there's always something new to experience if you do just a little bit of research and a little bit of digging.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the white buses for cheap round-trip transportation downtown ($4 round trip).
Book the Tacos, Brews & Views tour through Viator for a customizable private food tour.
