Canada, the world's second
largest country, is a land of extraordinary natural beauty and the quintessential
image of the Great Outdoors. A vast wilderness of mountain trails, picture-postcard
mirrored lakes, alpine forests, and of course, the majestic Canadian
Rocky Mountains. With a population of only 32 million people it can
often seem as though you have this immense adventure playground all
to yourself. Aside from its wild frontiers, Canada is equally attractive
to those seeking a cultural experience. as the country is represented
by a wide diversity of ethnic cultures as well as French and British
majorities.
Features:
»
Vancouver - Consistantly nominated as one of the most desirable
cities in the world to live in, Vancouver has an understandable reputation
for being green (two thirds of Canada's power comes from hydro-electric
generated power), friendly, liberal, active and multi-cultural. Beautifully
set on the Pacific coast, with the Coast Mountains as a backdrop, there
are numerous hiking options, in fact, there is no need to leave the
city as it is home to Stanley Park, one of the largest urban parks in
the world.
 »
Banff National Park - Nowhere else in Canada can offer such
stunning landscapes as can Banff National Park. Picture snowcapped mountain
ranges reflected in a turquoise blue mountain lake and you're half way
there. There are icefields, glacier fed rivers, and dense coniferous
forests. A truly beautiful place to get away from it all and enjoy first
class hiking and endless fresh air.
