Unforgettable holidays in wild west Texas

Texas, in south central America, is famous as the cowboy capital of the world. While a holiday in the Lone Star state is likely to include a trip to vast plains of cattle-raising ranches, there is much more to see and do, too, including Gulf Coast beaches, lakes, forests, mountains, charming towns and vibrant cities.

In contrast to the traditional ranch life, the cities, such as Dallas and Houston, offer glitz and glamour, while Austin is a must-visit for musicians and filmmakers, as well as being a famous tech capital, and then there is the Spanish-Mexican vibe of San Antonio.

Let our experts at Signature Travels create the perfect Texan holiday for you.  Contact us today. 

Highlights of Texas:

·      Experience the true Wild West by living like a cowboy on an authentic ranch holiday. You’ll enjoy roping lessons, horseback riding, skeet shooting and let’s not forget the delicious Texan BBQ.

·      Immerse yourself in the carnival and competitive atmosphere of a Texan rodeo, where sports include bareback riding, calf roping, steer wrestling, team roping and saddle bronc riding.

·      Visit the former western frontier settlement of San Antonio, which has reinvented itself as a modern city full of upscale boutiques, festivals, historic landmarks and a Mexican market acclaimed as the largest in America.

·      Western Texas boasts vast dark skies thanks to a lack of light pollution. This is the destination for magical star gazing and planet spotting thrills. Take in a trip to the McDonald Observatory, in Jeff Davis County, to open up the galaxy above.

·      Numerous museums across Texas explore the story of the American frontier and reveal the geography, history, folklore and culture of the forward wave of American expansion in mainland North America. Visit the city of Fort Worth, where there are no fewer than  five museums, including the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame and the Museum of Science and History.

Holiday like a cowboy on a Texan ranch

 

On a Texas ranch holiday, you’ll experience life like a true cowboy. Stay in an authentic and traditional ranch, where you will spend your days and nights enjoying the cowboy – and cowgirl – dream. Ride horses through vast plains, join roping lessons, try skeet shooting or, for something much more peaceful, fish at a tranquil lake.

The evenings on a ranch holiday will see you feasting at a Texan BBQ and sitting around a roaring fire telling tales of your adventures.
