Information on Canada

The second largest country (in terms of land mass) in the world, Canada is a veritable driver’s paradise. Many people first enter Canada via the US border town of Niagara, whereupon they are greeted by the epic spectacle of Niagara Falls. Rising to 170 feet tall and, more impressively, some 2,600 feet wide, the Canadian falls set a suitably majestic tone for the rest of the country to come.

Stretching from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific in the west, the country of Canada offers a rich blend of wild natural beauty and modern cosmopolitan cities. Many of the larger cities are located in the east of the country, including Toronto, Montreal and the ever popular Quebec (where French is the most commonly spoken language). Beyond the major east coast cities, and the youthful and vibrant city of Vancouver on the west coast, perhaps the most attractive aspect of any trip to Canada is the sheer size of the country combined the richness of its landscape.

This is after all the home of the spectacular Rocky mountain range. Located in the sparsely populated Prairie region, the Rockies are widely considered to be amongst the most beautiful mountains in the world, with its tallest peak, Mount Robson, standing at a mighty 3,954m (12,972f). Other natural wonders that await you in Canada include the immense Boreal and Taiga forests in the Ontario region; the fishing villages and traditional charm of the Atlantic Provinces; as well as the great Artic wilderness of the Northern region.
