Boquillas (Boquillas del Carmen) is a small town in the Mexican state of Coahuila, on the banks of the Rio Grande (Río Bravo del Norte). It is a part of the municipality of Ocampo. ==Until 2002==
Efforts began in the 1930s to create a United States-Mexico International Peace Park in the area, joining Big Bend National Park with the Maderas del Carmen in Coahuila. Boquillas del Carmen would have been at the center of this proposed international peace park, but these efforts have not yet reached fruition. Despite this inaction, Boquillas del Carmen cooperated with Big Bend in other ways. In the late 1990s, Boquillas was a small town of around 300 residents primarily dependent on the Big Bend tourist trade with visitors crossing the Rio Grande to visit the village's bar, restaurant, and taco stands. Children posted adjacent to the village's Christian mission sold rocks collected in the desert or from nearby caves. Tourism options included pony and donkey rentals, parties at Park Bar, and overnight stays at a local bed and breakfast known as the Buzzard's Roost. Country music star Robert Earl Keen was known to have frequented Boquillas and released an album in 1994 entitled ''Gringo Honeymoon'' whose title track is said to be about a day he and a female companion visited the village.
