Saddle Up Your Dreams

A Hill Country dude ranch in beautiful Bandera, Texas, "the cowboy capital of the world!"

For an authentic Texas vacation experience, go on a dude ranch adventure or visit the fitness ranch at Rancho Cortez!

Enjoy the beautiful Texas Hill Country located just one hour from San Antonio's world-famous River Walk and the Alamo. Rancho Cortez is a perfect place for family vacations, or fitness getaways. The ranch is also ideal for family reunions, weddings, or other group events. Couples, singles, and families also like to come to just get away for a day!

You'll have a great time horseback riding, designed for every level from novice to expert. Take in the beautiful scenery, relax in luxury accommodations and tuck into hearty, home-cooked meals.

If your focus is fitness, take a few days, a week, or as much time as you have to get in shape at the Hill Country Health and Fitness Center at Rancho Cortez. Guided hikes, water aerobics, horseback riding, and classes in the air-conditioned gym will help you meet your fitness goals during your stay at the ranch.

Adults and children love Rancho Cortez! In addition to horse back riding, have Western fun with hayrides, campfires, cattle roundups, and more! Fill everyday with ranch activities, or nearby sightseeing. Or just let the world go by as you relax by the pool, in the hot tub, or in the hammock.
