A Look into British Columbia |
No matter which part of the world you’re from, you will
definitely have a blast touring the vast regions of British Columbia
in Canada. British Columbia is the westernmost province of this
North American country, which is four times the size of Great
Britain but only has less than 1/10th of its population.
With such very few people scattered in vast amounts of land, you
will definitely feel an air of serenity here. Unless you go to
the main cities, you will hardly experience people all crowded in
one place, which is a quaint part of British Columbia’s charm.
Getting to Know the Regions, Cities & Other Destinations which Make
Up British Columbia
What’s so good about visiting a country as huge as Canada is that
you will never be lacking for sightseeing spots to visit and
activities to do. In British Columbia, for example, there are
several regions where a flurry of typical tourist activities and
some off-the-beaten vacation spots can be found.
First, there’s the marine-adventure rich Vancouver Island. The Lower
Mainland region of British Columbia is where you will find
Vancouver’s world-class ski resorts. Wineries, beaches and beautiful
rivers are the things that you will find in the Thompson-Okanagan
region. Cat skiing, hot springs and lakes are aplenty in Kootenays
while the Canyons and the Cariboo will give you a taste of Canada’s
history. Finally, there’s the North and Central Coast; as well as
Northern British Columbia which is home to the mighty Fraser River.
How about the cities in British Columbia? The region is home to
Victoria, which is the provincial capital located on the
southernmost tip of Vancouver Island. Other cities include Kamloops,
Kelowna, Nelson, Penticton, Prince George, Prince Rupert, Vancouver
and Whistler.
In addition to the cities and regions in British Columbia, there are
other notable destinations that you can visit here, including almost
a dozen national parks. You can have a taste of British Columbia’s
vast wilderness, coastline and mountains when you have a tour of the
Glacier National Park, the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and
the Kootenay National Park.
Additional British Columbia Attractions
Those who are fond of indulging in exciting outdoor sports
activities would definitely have a blast touring British Columbia.
With the Pacific coastline at your beck and call, you can have the
perfect setting for windsurfing, whale watching, kayaking and
canoeing.
If you’re not much of an adventurer but still an avid traveller, you
will be amazed at the variety of sightseeing opportunities that you
can have here. Why not have a tour of any of the dozens of
world-class wineries in the southern Okanagan Valley? Or maybe you
simply want to have a breathtaking view of snow-capped mountains and
lush desert terrains when you go on a day trip?
As you can see, British Columbia is a travel destination which has
something to offer everybody – so be sure to stop by for a few days
worth of visit when you travel to Canada.
