Contrabando is a faux border village or rancheria created by the film industry in 1985 for the movie "Up Hill All the Way". As more movies began filming there through the years, buildings were added to suit the needs of the particular film. Other movies include Streets of Laredo, Dead Man's Walk, The Journeyman, Rio Diablo and My Maria.
It is situated right on the banks of the Rio Grande, which can be seen on the left just in front of the tree line. This is within the Big Bend Ranch State Park.
