Canada

A country of wide open spaces and offers a world of contrasts - modern cities rich in art and culture are on the doorstep of rugged mountain ranges and the great outdoors.

Canada is the second largest country in the world and the largest in North America. Renowned worldwide for its vast, untouched landscape, its unique culture and history, Canada is a major tourist destination and one of the world's wealthiest countries. Vancouver is the heart of the West Coast. It is perhaps one of the most liberal and culturally diverse cities in North America and offers things from world class skiing to nude beaches. If one travels outside of Vancouver, they could find Victoria, British Columbia's capital city which is home to a bustling downtown and stunning Legislature grounds or they might hit Canada's version of Arizona, the Okanagan which is home to wineries, graceful mountains, resorts, and retirement villages or they could get lost in the vast amounts of mountains, lakes, and other natural wonders. Either way, the West Coast is one of the most beautiful regions in Canada, both for those who are looking for nature excursions and those who kick it in the city. In the east, visit the cosmopolitan cities of Toronto, Montreal and Quebec, the capital Ottawa and thundering Niagara Falls. Experience the history of the St. Lawrence River region and the rugged coastlines of the Maritime Provinces.
