Paco has had a wonderful time in Canada. Ottawa is the city that Paco chose to visit first of all. Here he visited not only interesting museums and galleries but also the famous canal that is used as a skating rink in winter.

Then, he went to Toronto. There he visited the famous CN Tower. This is the tower that they had to build in order to solve communications problems with some skyscrapers. After exploring the city, Paco went on a trip to a very famous place not far from Toronto. Can you remember this beautiful place which is in the border of Canada and the United States? Yes, of course: Niagara Falls. Paco went on the Maid of the Mist and had a great time.

Finally, in Nunavut he learnt a lot about arctic animals and about the people who live there, the Inuit. He experienced a dog sled, like the ones he had seen in films, and he also visited a National Park full of animals he had never seen before. Lucky him!
