Dude Ranch
Welcoming Guests in Bandera, TX & Beyond

Visit an authentic Texas Hill Country dude ranch in Bandera, TX, known as the Cowboy Capital of the World. If you’re joining us for the full day, your day starts with a beautiful horseback trail ride through the Texas Hill Country.

Then enjoy lunch with fresh ingredients from our own garden on the ranch. Afternoons are full with an additional trail ride, pools, hot tub, hiking trails, lessons to learn how to lasso, and a memorable trip to visit and feed our famous Texas longhorn cattle.

Indulge in a relaxing dinner, all homemade with fresh healthy ingredients, and dessert made from scratch. After dinner, wind down at the campfire listening to cowboy tales and roasting marshmallows for s’mores. Whether you're spending an entire day at our dude ranch or a half-day, the team at Rancho Cortez is happy to accommodate guests throughout San Antonio, Bandera, TX, and the surrounding areas. Contact us today to learn more about our range of activities and begin taking the steps towards a "digital detox"!
