North America

The second largest country in the world, and the largest in the Western Hemisphere, Canada is as eclectic as it is large. Its native inhabitants have resided there for several millennia, and its culture is influenced by a mix of these Aboriginal people and the French and British who once held colonies there. Its mountains and lakes, of which it has more than any other nation, make a truly spectacular site for those who venture out by bike or hiking. Stunning fresh-water glaciers stud the Rockies and Coast Mountains, a sight found in few places. Myriad wildlife, from elk to moose to caribou, abound. It is a massive nation of even more enormous beauty, waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.
