Visit the Mayan Dude Dude Ranch in Texas Tel : 01798 865946
This is one of those family run ranches where there is something going on all the time. More suited to families or couples with no riding experience as the riding is limited. The same family have run this ranch for many years and offer a full and varied programme of entertainment and riding. Set just a few minutes walk from the town of Bandera to the north west of San Antonio, the ranch has picturesque trails which wind over 340 acres from the lowlands of the Medina River that flows through the ranch, to high in the hills for a panoramic view of the valleys beyond. Much of the riding revolves around the great meals that are offered.
Guests get two rides a day: one in the morning and one in the afternoon. They are all single file, walk only with a cowboy guide and last about 50 minutes. A typical day may start with either a breakfast ride or breakfast at the ranch followed by a morning ride. After a superb lunch it's back to riding or maybe relaxing round the pool. After a great supper there may be evening entertainment - dancing, music or a firework display. There are two accommodation options and all are air-conditioned.
Accommodation : One, two, or three bedrooms rock cottages or Lodge rooms with a beautiful view of Bandera and the hills. One room with king-size bed adjoined by one room with two double beds. From June to Labor Day they do not ride on Sundays as the horses have the day off. A brunch is served Sunday morning and dinner Sunday evening. Everything is included: your attractive room, three delicious meals each day, two horseback rides daily, use of the tennis courts, plus all the activities listed on the activity schedule.
