Focusing on the “Cowboy Capital of the World,” Visit The USA’s YouTube channel hosts a video featuring Bandera, in the Texas Hill Country, from angles you might never have seen before. Beginning with the downtown core and its weekly gunfights, not to mention the cowboys and cowgirls that partake in everything, this short video touches on all the highlights of this wonderful Texas town in a clip meant to entice those who haven’t yet been to the U.S., much less the state of Texas.

Rodeos, ranches, and the frontier times (like those which are memorialized in the Frontier Times Museum) are notable points of interest in this clip. The host also reveals that Bandera is home to seven internationally renowned dude ranches (the most for any one area in all of the state), and the experiences you can have at these properties aside from the ample horse riding that can take place on their sprawling acreage.

Of particular note in this video is that the town of Bandera and its numerous hospitality options aren’t portrayed as hick-like and boring. By anyone’s standards, the stays that can be had in this area are first-rate, never mind the fact that you’re already in one of the more renowned tourism spots in central Texas. Luxurious accommodations, warm swimming pools, authentic and delicious dining options, and many great outdoor activities can all be had here. For those who haven’t yet been, a visit to Bandera, and the “Cowboy Capital of the World” is like being made to feel at home…away from home!
