The Urban Collective

Carved beneath the Texas Hill Country, a world of natural beauty awaits you. Get your comfy shoes, ready your water bottles, set out for a unique adventure, and go forth as you are guided through corridor after corridor of timeless beauty, mystery, and wonder found at Cascade Caverns. The Downunder Tour will take you to a living cavern with millions of glistening drops of pure water falling on spectacular rock formations. Are you brave enough to take on the Adventure Tour? Just like a real cave explorer, you will be given helmets, flashlights, and gloves, as you go spelunking 3-4 hours through the cave systems. Want a little something more? Take up the Evening Flashlight Tour, where you will only be allowed to have flashlights and candles. Who knows, you may end up seeing the blind ghostly salamanders.

Rooted in its rich history, the historic Menger Hotel reigns as the oldest operating hotel, where hospitality and history come to life. Step into the beautiful Victorian lobby and be transported back to when Theodore Roosevelt gathered his Rough Riders at the Menger Bar. Menger Hotel hosted generations of guests who delight in its architectural grandeur, glamorous public spaces, and thoughtful modern-day services and amenities. As you stroll through the Spanish courtyard garden, you will feel at peace as you surround yourself with palm trees, azaleas, and a three-tiered fountain. 

Festive music fills the air as vibrant floats of the Texas Cavaliers River Parade flow through the San Antonio river in a one-of-a-kind celebration that brings a unique experience to the city. Texas Cavaliers and the parade sponsors decorated every float with bright flowers and vibrant colors, and the tradition of the River Parade began. The first parade included several boats for schools, local businesses, civic organizations, and the army. The Texas Cavaliers River Parade has found its way into the hearts of over 250,000 spectators each year, and the money raised supports local children’s charities through the Texas Cavaliers Charitable Foundation.

Grab your gear and float down the spring-fed, crystal clear, 72-degree water, where you’ll flow through a few tube chutes along the way with Comal Tubes. Take advantage of the fantastic tubing experience with everything you need, such as koozies, towels, sunscreen, apparel, souvenirs, hats, water toys, and snacks. They even have a Party Bus that will pick you up anywhere in Texas and get you back home safe, sound and dry.
