Candelilla Cafe pairs naturally with some of the most popular destinations in the Big Bend region.
Big Bend National Park
The West Entrance of Big Bend National Park is about 16 miles away, putting scenic drives, hiking, and canyon views within easy reach. From there the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive, Santa Elena Canyon, and the Chisos Basin are the usual first days in the park.
Terlingua Ghost Town
The historic Terlingua Ghost Town is about 11 miles away, with nearby dining and sightseeing that bring the area’s mining history to life. The old porches, the cemetery on the hill, and the nightly gathering at the Starlight Theatre are the usual finish to a Big Bend day.
Marathon
Marathon is about 75 miles away on US-90, a historic railroad town of galleries, lodging, and a quiet main street before the park. It is the usual overnight on the drive in from the east, and a good reset after days in the desert.
