Bordering the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the United States to the south, Canada encompasses a mammoth territory of nearly 4 million square miles, making it officially the world’s second largest country after Russia. Canada is further home to eight distinct forest ecosystems, several imposing mountain ranges including the Canadian Rockies, and over 2 million lakes, more than any other in the world.

The vast majority of Canada’s population lives in the southernmost region of the country, where the weather is warmest year-round. During your adventure travel program in Canada it is likely that you will visit cities such as Toronto, the country’s largest city and man center of global activity, Montreal, the largest French-speaking city in Canada and a close eastern neighbor of Toronto, and Vancouver, which is the country’s major western outpost and considered one of the most livable cities in the world.

When you are not visiting the major cities while you adventure travel in Canada, you will be off exploring the tremendous diversity of wilderness in Canada’s backyard. The further north you travel, the less habitable becomes the land, so expect to spend most of your trip adventuring about the country’s southern regions.
