The world’s second largest country takes in the peaks of the Rocky Mountains in the west, the Great Lakes in the east, a vast swathe of Arctic tundra and everything in between. Canada is dotted with culturally vibrant cities such as Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, but these are dwarfed by the sheer scale of the great outdoors. From skiing down Whistler’s world-beating slopes and spotting orcas off the coast of Vancouver Island to tracking polar bears in Churchill and standing in the spray of Niagara Falls, Canada boasts some of the greatest outdoor adventures on earth. Its proverbial friendliness is the icing on the cake.
