7 Ideal Louisiana Destinations for a 3-Day Weekend in 2024

Gather round, nature lovers! Avery Island, which isn’t a traditional island since it is inland, is a lush forested destination sitting on a deposit of solid rock salt home to Tabasco Hot Sauce. The salt deposit runs almost as deep into the earth as Mount Everest! Spend an entire day at the Tabasco Visitors Center. Take a self-guided tour of the grounds and facility, and check out the museum.

But there is more to Avery Island than just hot sauce! Embark on a tour of Avery Island’s Jungle Gardens, which is ideal for nature lovers. Participate in a tour of Bird City, or hike one of the many accessible trails through the gardens. Or, drive a short 20 minutes north to the Rip Van Winkle Gardens to check out one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in the state. After a long day exploring, check in to Hampton Inn & Suites New Iberia Avery Island or the Bayou Teche Guest Cottage in New Iberia.
