It don't get much more exciting than Cajun cooking, gator wrasslin' and Mardi Gras (just make sure you bring lots of beads).

Louisiana has its forests and parks, but the main activities here revolve around the state's 4,000 square miles of lakes, waterways and bayous, not to mention the Gulf of Mexico. And don't pass up taking a genuine Louisiana swamp tour where you can watch gators.giant bullfrogs, and other wildlife amidst the giant mangroves and cypress trees while riding atop an airboat.

Boating and fishing are king in Louisiana. Try your hand at at landing the famous red drum or tarpon. Its all for the taking - Canjun style!
