Canada’s 13 Most Beautiful Landscapes
Hello and bonjour!
Canada is often characterized as a friendly, multicultural, and fascinating place to live and explore. In terms of area, the country is the third largest in the world and consists of ten provinces and three territories that are divided into distinct areas such as the West Coast, Far North, Prairies, Central Region, and the Maritimes. Some provinces and territories are arguably more popular than others, but that should not discount the beauty and wonder of this great nation.
