Description

Canada is a vast and rugged land. From north to south it spans more than half the Northern Hemisphere. From east to west it stretches almost 4,700 miles (7,560 kilometers) across six time zones. It is the second largest country in the world, but it has only one-half of one percent of the world's population.

Canada features black-blue lakes, numerous rivers, majestic western mountains, rolling central plains, and forested eastern valleys. The Canadian Shield, a hilly region of lakes and swamps, stretches across northern Canada and has some of the oldest rocks on Earth.

Canada's far north lies in the frozen grip of the Arctic, where ice, snow, and glaciers dominate the landscape. Few trees grow here, and farming is not practical. Native Canadians, called First Nations people, live in this region by hunting and fishing.

The landscape has so much diversity that it is difficult to know where to begin. So many peaks, valleys, rivers, forests, islands and majestic cityscapes to choose from that trying to pick a starting point would simply make your head spin. Fret not, we’ll guide you through the whole journey with ease, starting in the comfort of the more urban areas throughout the land, before digging deeper and deeper into the natural beauty here.

Canada is half a world away and the time and resources it takes to get there don’t come around often. It is necessary, then to spend a decent chunk of time to just experience it all and our Canada trip plan for 15 days will help you do just that.
