River
Walk (Paseo Del Rio)
Paseo
Del Rio in the heart of downtown, is
the pride of the city. Lush green
foliage lines the banks of this
peaceful, historic river.
Cobblestone walkways lead visitors
to the river-level restaurants and
shops. The river bubbles to the
surface on the grounds of the
University of the Incarnate Word and
flows to downtown, threading its way
through the city one level below the
hustle and bustle of city streets.
First called Yanaguana by the Payaya
Indians, meaning "place of
refreshing waters." Along the
horseshoe shaped river bend, the
river is shaded by towering
cypresses, oaks and willows and
bordered by gardens of flowering
ornamental plants. River cruisers
travel the River Walk's three miles
past unique retail shops,
restaurants and nightclubs
