Del Rio
Experience the classic West Texas town of your imagination here. Nearby Lake Amistad, with 67,000 acres and 540 miles of shoreline, offers plenty of outdoor fun, with scuba diving, swimming, skiing, and fishing. Birdwatching is a major attraction for the area, especially in the winter, when many species pass through on their southern migration. At the state’s oldest winery, Val Verde, you can enjoy a free tour and wine tasting. Spend the day examining the rock art at Seminole Canyon State Park and Historic Site or browsing through one of the city’s museums. And don’t miss the opportunity to cross the border into Ciudad Acuña.
