One of the most majestic regions in Louisiana was featured on the Today Show this morning. The Atchafalaya Heritage Area was highlighted as part of the “America the Beautiful” series. This region is beautiful indeed. We are glad Jenna Bush Hagar came down to Cajun country to learn a little bit about the traditions, food and history of one of the most culturally rich and ecologically varied regions in the world.

The segment brings many qualities Louisiana is known for to life: crawfish, alligators, sunsets on the bayou, Cajun music, airboating, cypress trees, crawfish boils and friendly people. The best news is that all of these are right at your fingertips during your visit to Louisiana.
