If there was more to Laredo than the popular Mexican wares sold on San
Bernardo! More than being the #1 Inland Port driving the economic engine of
Texas and the United States of America, dare we say global! More than being the
‘big buck’ country of Texas! Or being next to the enchanting and spectacular
country of Mexico! Or the miles and miles of stunningly beautiful trails of river –
the splendid Rio Grande. Well, how about the inviting climate, friendly people,
history, art, shopping, authentic Mexican cuisine, nature trails, and some of the
most beautiful birds in the world!
Immensely entrenched in history and culture, Laredo will entice and intrigue you
with her sounds, tastes and experiences. Come to a region that conquistadores
once traversed and Franciscan monks set up missions to educate the natives. If
Texas is “like a whole other country,” Laredo is a whole other country within
Texas:
