Border city: Meeting of rivers and parks

A border city where the Conchos River meets the Rio Grande, home to Big Bend National Park in Texas, and in Chihuahua, the Santa Elena Canyon, a protected natural area teeming with flora and fauna. It's a desert landscape characterized by stacked stone formations that were once inhabited by Comanches and Apaches.

Some History

Here the waters of the Conchos River meet with those of the Rio Grande that delimit the border with the state of Texas. On June 2, 1716, the San Francisco de la Junta de los Ríos prison was founded, although its history dates back to the passage of Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, a survivor of the shipwreck that occurred in Florida in 1528, an event that made it the great chronicler of one of the most outstanding human epics in the history of the conquest of America.
