CANADA FOR NATURAL WONDERS

Canada’s enormous size means it spans many different types of terrains and is home to some of the finest natural spectacles on the planet. From the fall glory of its vast forests to its icy glacial lakes and majestic mountains, there is plenty to take your breath away in every season.

The Great Lakes

With their mighty winds and rolling waves, lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario often resemble inland seas. Together, they contain enough water to flood the whole of Canada. The largest, Lake Superior , is the biggest freshwater lake in the world. Enjoy exhilarating watersports such as kayaking, or take a relaxing hike along its unspoiled shores.

Canadian Rockies

Some of the towering peaks in the Canadian Rockies are so high that they never lose their snow. This magnificent range includes 50 mountains over 10,000 ft (3,048 m) in height and encompasses five national parks, four of which comprise a single UNESCO World Heritage Site

Rainforests

British Columbia’s lush Pacific coastboasts nearly a quarter of the world’s temperate rainforest. Whether you’re hiking a backwoods trail or driving a scenic road, keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife: bald eagles, cougars, wolves, and bears can all be spotted here.

Whale Watching

Churchill offers the best chance to see the striking white beluga whales, known as the White Ghosts of the North. You can also observe them in Tadoussac , along with many other types of whale. Rare narwhals, too, can be spotted in Canada’s remote Arctic waters
