Review:
Houma spans 2,500 acres of swamps and wetlands within an hour’s drive southwest of New Orleans. The area is rich with Cajun culture, as experienced via the food, live music, and southern hospitality.
The area is home to the Wetlands Cultural Scenic Byway, which rolls through the parishes of Terrebonne and Lafourche. Along the drive, enjoy some of the state’s best seafood, view 100-year old Cypress trees, and keep your eyes open for wildlife, including egrets and seaside sparrows.
Hop on a swamp tour for a close up tour of the wetlands that serve as a barrier between the Gulf of Mexico and the land. Houma Map
