There is so much to see in Canada, the vast country of more than 9 million square kilometers! Snowy mountains and thick forests of cedars motivate those who aspire to peace and healing. We already dreaming of snowmobilers and nights in a cozy wooden chalet. You can almost feel the cold we tingling cheeks! Canadian parks open all year round to escape the fans, so the more cautious may prefer to get there in October to discover the charms of the Indian summer.
Indians, trappers, gold and early settlers researchers are bent at the harsh law of this immense territory. Faced with a harsh climate, the inhabitants are concentrated in large cities. Eastern Canada and has a string of welcoming and bustling cities, Toronto ahead. Ottawa exudes a more intimate atmosphere, worthy of its status as capital. In museums, it learns with interest in Native American art. Quebec, the most European of cities in Canada, is the only city in North America to have preserved its fortifications. Montreal is itself a great melting pot of cultures. She is also known for its famous festivals worldwide.
The languorous Vancouver to Calgary more rustic, western Canada also has its share of great discoveries. Alberta, by crossing the Rocky Mountains, offers a wide variety of landscapes. Peaks crowned with snow, tranquil lakes and roaring rivers, canyons and broad meadows are some of the scenery you will have the opportunity tu. The practice of sports is at hand.
Winnipeg, a city of about 600,000 inhabitants, is the center of the country, halfway between Newfoundland and Vancouver Island. She played an important role in the building of Canada. In Calgary, the oil capital and Rodeo, the world of cowboys is never far away. You will even be hosted and participate in the life of a ranch!
At the extreme western Canada, Vancouver Island, attracted by its climate. Victoria, the largest town on the island, has an English character, which would almost doubt that is in Canada. Vancouver is a jewel in the rough, set by the Pacific Ocean. Its relaxed lifestyle and economic dynamism make it a paradise for many. It is often compared to San Francisco.
Canada will not leave you hungry for more discoveries! From East to West, whatever your route or your destination, you will encounter a warm and tolerant people. It is no coincidence that 20 million tourists visit Canada every year ...
Canada regularly serves as a backdrop to the movies. The most representative films "Brokeback Mountain" with Michelle Williams, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, "Dances with Wolves" Kevin Costner or "Legends of the Fall" with Brad Pitt.
