"3 years later, and I still daydream about floating in that jungle-engulfed pool anytime I need to de-stress" — Flight Finder Lauren. 

What's she talking about? Tayrona (aka, Colombia's Caribbean coast) duh! And luckily for you, Austin, Baranquilla's your best bet to reach it. 

Sure, Santa Marta's stunning seaside city is technically closer but you'd be looking at a 2-stop minimum (that costs even more) Hard no. 

If you've heard of Baranquilla but can't put your finger on why, it's probably something to do with Carnival!

Globally, it's the second largest celebration right after Rio. And while we're still crossing our fingers for dates, there's tons of pre-carnival revelry kicking off as early as January :-)
