Add to My List Check Off

One of the most popular hikes in the Rosarito area is Cerro El Coronel. The hike up the large hill is moderate and takes 5-7 hours so be sure to take plenty of drinking water and snacks. There are signs for the trail that you’ll find along the free road near Puerto Nuevo. For an easier hike, there are a number of trails surrounding the new Parque Metropolitano, a large park located east of town. This is also a great place for families to spend the day as there are large green spaces, numerous picnic tables and grill areas, and playground equipment for children. How to Hike There: While most trails are not well-marked, there are a growing number of people in the region who are getting into hiking around Rosarito, which means you can look up directions online for many hikes. Most are moderate day hikes that you can do easily on your own. Local Guides or Organized Tours: There a few Facebook hiking groups that have organized hikes you can join for a small fee (hikers are required to wear masks and stay socially distanced). This is a great option to try out a new hike for the first time. Check out the groups Achacosos Senderismo or Aventuras en la Baja or Baja Coast Hiking. When to Go: With the temperate weather in the area, you can easily hike year-round. Insider Tip: There are also some great hiking spots south of Rosarito in Ensenada. Again, trails are not necessarily well-marked but some online searching will help you find some good hiking spots such as in Cañon de Doña Petra Ecological Park and out toward La Bufadora.
