The travel industry has expanded significantly throughout the past few decades. From the second half of the 20th century, jet flights became popular and an important part of how we get from the point a to b. This mode of transportation is what made many countries very attractive for travelers from different parts of the world. Canada, out of all places on earth, has managed to become a true marvel of the continent and the globe.
The northern American nation of Canada is probably one of the most beautiful countries on earth. Its vast territories cover different climate zones with access to both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. It spans across the entire continent of northern America, bordering the United States in the south and the north. It is one of the largest countries in the world in terms of territories, however, the population density is extremely low. This results in gigantic, uninhabited areas, full of wildlife creatures and simply astonishing landscapes.
There is just too much to see in Canada. The large country has diverse wildlife, similar to the diversity of its people, culture and history. On another hand, seeing the majority of the country is impossible during a one 2 week-long trip. That is why seeing all that the nation has to offer and then choosing the most suitable activities, areas and events to visit are what everyone should be doing before boarding the flight.
Flora and Fauna in Canada
But to break the entire ecosystem of Canada down, it offers a few major areas to tourists. Wildlife? This probably is the most popular part of the country that attracts millions of international tourists each and every year. Across the country, one can even find polar bears. These endangered animal species are some of the most unique wildlife examples that Canada has to offer. They can be found from James Bay to northern Ellesmere Island, as well as from Labrador to the Alaskan border. Located on the western coast of the country, Churchill, Manitoba, is home to one of the largest populations of polar bears.
On the other hand, for those who fear powerful and frightening animals up north, any of the numerous national parks of Canada offer a great range of activities and different environments. The nation is well known for the extremely high number of national parks and preserved territories. The vast majority of the country, along with being uninhabited, is barely touched by the human hand. Visitors in national parks and preserved territories are asked to be extremely careful, not to damage any parts of the Canadian flora and fauna.
Besides the wildlife, which truly is one of Canada’s most impressive sights, the country is home to a number of dazzling cities. Ottawa, the official capital of the nation, is much smaller in size and a more peaceful in character. On the other hand, the largest city of the country, Toronto, is an alpha global city with numerous international financial institutions, dazzling skyscrapers, and a never-ending list of unique activities. Go up Toronto’s CN tower’s roof to enjoy the views and if not afraid, you can even try bungee jumping out.
