Niagara... the word alone evokes magnificence, brilliance, reverence and also... terror! As you gaze in wonder at the falls, it's impossible not to feel infinitely small in the presence of this thundering cataract which simply takes your breath away. The first white person to behold the falls was Étienne Brulé, a trapper sent by Champlain in 1615 to reconnoitre Iroquois territory.

You will not want to miss exploring this now fertile region with its vineyards internationally famous for their ice wine and its picturesque towns which make it a favourite on the world tourism circuit. It is a short hour's drive away from Toronto, Canada's economic driver, metropolis of the "New World", and a gathering place for millions of Canadians in search of entertainment and culture. The big city awaits you with open arms.
