What to do in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
Every time I go to a convention or meeting, someone always asks, “Where is the lower Rio Grande Valley?” The lower Rio Grande Valley is in the southern tip of Texas, right before you get to Mexico. The Rio Grande separates Mexico from the United States. If you love warm weather, sunshine, palm trees, and exotic birds, this is the place for you.
There are plenty of great attractions in the Rio Grande Valley. If you enjoy fun in the sun, check out South Padre Island. It’s also a great place for fishing! Other great fishing locations include the coast and Port Mansfield.
If you’re preparing for college, check out the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. If you’re a birdwatcher, we have many facilities and areas filled with exotic birds. If you like wildlife, take a hike through the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge. Don’t forget, SpaceX wants to launch a rocket here in 2018!
Of course, all you snowbirds and winter Texans are always welcome to come on down and enjoy the weather. If you have any questions, give me a call or send me an email. I would be happy to help you!
