San Antonio’s Mystical Grotto along the Riverwalk

Few people know there’s a mystical grotto hidden along the San Antonio Riverwalk that is free to visit. As if the River Walk weren’t magical enough, it’s harboring a secret that looks like something out of a fairy tale. There’s a mystical grotto tucked away along the riverbank that will enchant all who enter. Discover craggy faces carved into cave-like walls, splashing waterfalls, and surrealistic, winding passageways with eerily realistic stalagmites and stalactites. The grotto features benches, recessed lighting, a picnic area, and a street-level stairway leading into the jaws of a giant jaguar head. The grotto looks super cool at night and would be great to visit around Halloween!

It’s free to visit and is perfect for a stroll, pics, or to have a picnic!
