Cool. But do check on the Tourist Card (not mentioned on that web
site): http://www.mexonline.com/visamex.htm

The 72-hour requirement is stated a bit ambiguously, but the card
is required, even in the border zone. On the other hand, you are
quite unlikely to be detected without one if don't encounter any
internal check points.


I don't know where you're getting your information, but there is NO
requirement for a tourist card in the border zone, which includes Ensenada.

OTOH only a blithering idiot drives in Mexico without Mexican liability
insurance. If someone is injured in an accident you can be held until you
can prove that the injured person will be properly compensated.
