Nestled between the Pacific Ocean in the west and the Rocky Mountains in the east, British Columbia is the sixth province of Canada. It is known for its immense beauty and diverse landscape, making it the perfect place for those interested in adventure travel; from parks and beaches to mountains and rivers, British Columbia will exhaust you with its endless possibilities. Animal life is also abundant: grizzly bears, mountain goats, wolves, caribou, loons, eagles and elk are just a few the animals you could see.
The capital of British Columbia is Victoria, which is a great area to visit if you want a more urban experience. There are also many other areas of British Columbia where you can find first-rate restaurants, fabulous shopping and stimulating exhibits.
Temperatures are generally moderate, but in the winter, the mountains become the ideal ski spot. British Columbia is home to 13 ski resorts, including three in Vancouver and an award-winning host mountain resort in Whistler.
