Unique West Texas hotel offers a glamping experience that feels out of this world
Staying in a bubble tent in Terlingua, Texas, truly felt like a trip to outer space. Each of Bubble Terlingua’s 10 bubbles stay inflated by a small turbine that blows in the air, so in order to keep air in the bubbles, visitors must enter via an airlock. The outer door must then be closed before opening the interior door, which is how it must feel to an astronaut returning home from a space walk.
Space-faring comparisons don’t stop there. Take the landscape, for example, which strongly resembles a certain desert planet in a galaxy far, far away. Or Mars, if you want something closer to home. Terlingua strongly resembles Mars. Either way, staying at Bubble Terlingua feels like departing from the normal world and entering something extraordinary.
