La Bufadora means "Blow hole" in English. This spectacular scene is located in a Californian town called Ensenada. If you live in California, you may wonder why you never heard about La Bufadora. Actually, there are two Californias. Upper California is inside the US whereas Lower (Baja) California is situated in Mexico. Ensenada is in Lower California. The so-called blow hole is a cave in a cliff. After the ocean wave compresses the air and water into the cave, the trapped air and water explode through the exit like a geyser, but it is not a real geyser, of course.
