This is a great place to visit for a few hours. You are given a map, and take a self guided tour. Lots of great outdoor exhibits. Learned a lot of history Admission was $6 and they have a little gift shop with reasonable prices. Enjoyable!

A lake bordered by Texas on one side and Mexico on the other with 1,000 miles of shoreline - an excellent venue for fishing and boating.

This is an International Reservoir and a huge one. There are several access points to the lake. We went in at Governor's Landing to see the sunrise and then later in the day at Box Canyon. Governor's Landing had clean modern restrooms. At Box Canyon was a composting type restroom. What is amazing about Amistad Reservoir is the blueness of the water contrasting with the whiteness of the rock. Absolutely beautiful. I understand that it is a boaters paradise and a fisherman's dream but since I hate to fish and don't have a boat well can't elaborate on either although if I lived in the area a boat would be my first purchase. Sadly the level of this lake continues to fall as the cities around it grown (on both sides of the border) and the drought continues.

The oldest winery in Texas.
Reviewed By 825brentl - Colorado Springs, United States
The Val Verde is authentic and has a rich history. It is not part of the recent fad to satisfy American tastes, this winery has been making wine the traditional way continuously by the same family for over 100 years. Joining the club offers great discounts.
