Country Overview

Canoe down spectacular rivers; hike through untrodden landscape; see bears and beavers in the wild; watch ice-hockey and baseball with the locals. Canada is an enormous little country: it is nearly as large as Europe yet it has a population of just 30 million people. From the whale-rich coast of Vancouver Island to the rugged shores of Newfoundland, there are vast, empty areas to explore. The Rockies offer a wonderland of winter skiing and summer trekking; Ontario presents the moose-populated splendours of Algonquin Provincial Park as well as the Niagara Falls; New Brunswick features the finest salmon rivers as well as the world's highest tides along the Bay of Fundy; while Nova Scotia is characterised by its dramatic coastal scenery. There are more than 70 hostels ideally situated to take in the best of this huge and varied nation, particularly the stunning mountains of Alberta and British Columbia and the watery world of lakes and rivers around French-speaking Quebec.
