Next we head to La Cienega restaurant where we have a light ceviche meal with Jorge Emilio, a former city council member of Ensenada who explains his amazing efforts to help protect the environment.
Season 11 of CROSSING SOUTH: Host Jorge Meraz is back to exploring the amazing sights south of the border. In eight brand new episodes watch as he trains and fights fires alongside the Rosarito Fire Department, tag along to Ensenada’s Pai Pai Zoo where he is bombarded by a baby panther and a group of monkeys, and later witness Jorge face his fear as he dives into the hives of stinging bees.
Along with visits to top tourist destinations and under the radar spots, this season will showcase some of the charitable work happening in Baja California. We will meet compassionate volunteers dedicated to helping stray animals, visit a special school for the refugee children stuck at the border, then tour the Rosarito Boys and Girls Club. And as always, you guessed it - Jorge will devour some amazing food!
