NATURAL DESTINATION - NIAGARA FALLS
Niagara Falls is one of the most popular natural
destinations in the world, located across the Canada/
USA border. The falls are made up of two separate
areas - the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of
the border and the American Falls on the USA side.
Although not the highest waterfalls in the world,
they move 168,000 cubic metres of water every
minute over a drop of 51 metres (167 feet). The
surrounding town, a well-known North American
honeymoon destination, offers a variety of visitor
activities, including a casino, as well as land and
boat tours of the falls. There is also a wide range
of accommodation on offer, from luxury spa resorts,
inns and motels to boutique hotels, B&Bs and guest
houses.
