Located about an hour outside of Austin, Wimberley is a charming little town with a village-like feel and some of the most breathtaking nature in the state. It has one of the highest concentrations and widest varieties of natural wonders in all of Texas, boasting everything from mountains to rivers to creeks to a giant underwater well.
