Canada, with its vast, open spaces is the second largest country in the world and attracts over five million visitors a year. This is hardly surprising considering the range of natural beauties Canada has to offer them. Known for its great outdoors, Canada abounds in mountains, glaciers, lakes and forests.
From the rugged, forest-clad slopes and crystalline waters of the Rocky Mountain Parks, spread over 640 kilometres of the British Columbia border, to the picturesque Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, Canada's breathtaking natural wonders can be mapped from any Canada Wildlife Holidays guide. And from the Nahanni National Park Reserve in the North West Territories to the 10,000 year old Niagara Falls on the Ontario border, not forgetting Alberta's Dinosaur Provincial Park, whichever of part of Canada you visit, there is a wonder to behold.
Canada is an excellent destination for true lovers of the great outdoors. If you like trekking through unspoilt countryside and possibly rubbing shoulders with the occasional grizzly bear, or watching mighty whales, playful dolphins, seals and other marine wildlife, Canada is a nature lover's paradise.
But Canada is not only about the great outdoors. Quaint and historic old towns like Quebec, Montreal and Lunenberg vie with the vibrant cosmopolitan cities that are clean and friendly with many attractions of their own. There are theatres and galleries, as well as carnivals and festivals around the calendar to celebrate the rich and diverse cultural background Canada enjoys.
In fact Canada welcomes diversity with open arms and this is what makes it such a unique and interesting country. It also makes it such a very popular destination for visitors of every possible description and from all walks of life.
