WILD NATURE

The Great White North in its full splendor

01. THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS (ALBERTA)

The wild heart of Canada. Here, the landscape is dominated by snow-capped peaks, ancient glaciers, and lakes of an almost unreal turquoise blue, thanks to the glacial "rock dust." It's an environment where the scale of nature makes you feel small.

Rocosas Canadienses
BANFF NATIONAL PARK: The oldest in the country. You can't miss it! Lake Louise and the Moraine Lake. It's the ideal place to see grizzly bears and moose in the wild.
JASPER NATIONAL PARK: More pristine than Banff. It stands out... Athabasca Glacier, where you can walk on real ice, and the legendary highway Icefields Parkway.

02. THE PACIFIC AND RAINFORESTS

Where the temperate forest meets the ocean. It's a land of contrasts, with thousand-year-old giant trees and a coastline perfect for whale watching.

  • Pacific Rim National Park Reserve: Famous for Long Beach. It is a paradise for surfing and spectacular Pacific storms.
  • Vancouver Island: A unique ecosystem inhabited by the black bear, where you can take tours to see it. orcas and humpback whales.
  • Capilano Bridge: A total immersion in the treetops of a coastal rainforest.

03. THE POWER OF WATER AND AUTUMN

Niagara Falls

The most famous waterfall in the world. A boat trip is a must to experience the power of Horseshoe Falls up close.

Algonquin Park

The best place for canoeing. In autumn, the maple forests turn a deep red that looks like it's straight out of a painting.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS CARRY BEAR SPRAY AND RESPECT SOCIAL DISTANCES.
