Visited on 8/21/16 and all that is left is one building. The cantina still stands, but not the church, or anything else. A beautiful drive, but not worth it for just the one standing building.

This is an abandoned movie set from the movie Lone Star. It looks like an old west village tucked alongside the Rio Grande River. It is a few miles west of Lajitas on Highway 170 along the Texas-Mexico Border. It is very visible from the road and within easy walking distance. The set is right on the Rio Grande.
