Visiting the Gaspé region of Quebec is a truly unique experience, and this panoramic program brings it all to life. Discovered by French explorer Jacques Cartier in 1534, the Gaspé Peninsula is a natural wonder. Roche Percé, the "pierced rock," is a natural monument and bird sanctuary, which is losing 375 tons of its mass every year. Bonaventure Island, declared a bird sanctuary in 1919, is an 1800-acre island, home to the second largest gannet colony in the world. Miguasha National Park is a paleontologist's dream. With an amazing assortment of fossils dating back 350-400 million, it is considered the most outstanding fossil site in the world. The Reford Gardens are one of Quebec's most popular National Historic sites. Renowned as an outstanding example of horticultural art, these gardens are designed in the style of 19th-century collectors' gardens. Lastly, we learn how sailors in the 16th century discovered the abundant fishing grounds of the Gulf of the St. Lawrence, and how important fishing remains as part of daily life today.

This quaint town, nestled in the lush wine country within the province of Ontario, makes time stand still. The ten-day wine festival is the cultural event of the year, and ice wine is the centerpiece of the festival. This sweet dessert wine is made from frozen grapes and some call it "the golden nectar of the gods." Another annual event is the George Bernard Shaw Festival held each fall to honor the famed Irish playwright and author. The town comes alive as Shaw's plays are presented in an atmosphere of long-ago gentility and grace, where afternoon tea is an everyday event. The countryside around the town offers magnificent views of the Niagara River, and a bike tour along the Niagara River Trail is a must. Another side trip can be a winery's cooking school, where cooking tips and proper wines to accompany food are offered. Back in Niagara-on-the-Lake, a horse-drawn carriage takes us on a stroll through the historic district. To end our visit in this wonderful town, we pamper ourselves at a local spa, where a soothing massage and facial will revitalize any weary traveler.

Niagara Falls is something one has to experience to truly believe its wonder. This program not only captures the beauty, power and mystery of the Falls, but also explores many attractions in this beautiful region. One of the most popular destinations in the world, Niagara Falls has two major sections separated by Goat Island: Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side, and the American Falls on the U.S. side; also on the American side are the smaller Bridal Veil Falls. Incredibly, over 2.5 billion gallons of water flows every hour over the falls heading north to Lake Ontario; it is the third greatest waterfalls in the world in terms of volume of water. We learn the Maid of the Mist boat cruise is the oldest attraction at the Falls; it has carried passengers beneath the Falls since 1846; also we discover a 63-year-old teacher, Annie Edson Taylor, was the first person to successfully plunge over the Falls in a barrel. Other than plane or helicopter, the Skylon Tower offers the highest overhead view of the Falls. Just a 10-minute drive north of the Falls is the Niagara Parks' Botanical Gardens, a horticultural center with nearly 100 acres and over 2300 plant types; it too is home to the world's largest Butterfly Conservatory. Next stop is Marineland, Ontario's largest theme park attraction, which offers live aquarium shows with killer whales, beluga whales, and seals. Last stop is wine country and the Vineland Estates Winery, called the area's "most picturesque winery."

Just mention French Polynesia and the first place that comes to mind is usually Tahiti; it is the largest and the most populated of French Polynesia's Society Islands. This south Pacific paradise is only 28 miles wide, but its highest point, Mount Orohena, is 7,352 feet above sea level. The rich soils of the volcanic mountains here support lush vegetation and one of the best ways to take in the sites is with a 4 x 4, as we do here, into the jungle-like interior to enjoy many natural beauties, including cascading waterfalls and magnificent pools that provide a striking contrast to the black sand beaches and turquoise lagoons that surround the island. Tahiti's population is approximately 180,000 people and the largest city and capital is Papeete, which is located on the northwest coast; this part of the island is known as Tahiti Nui or "Big Tahiti"; the smaller and more remote section, which is connected by the Taravao Isthmus, is called Tahiti Iti or "Small Tahiti." As you'll discover, Tahiti, no matter how you say it, is a place that no one who visits ever forgets.

The Society Islands of French Polynesia are made up of the Windward Islands, where Tahiti is situated, and the Leeward Islands, which are a group of islands west of the Windward Isles; it is here where you find one of the world's most famous islands, Bora Bora, which is also known as "The Marvelous Island." In this program we discover why. Bora Bora is a relatively small island and its population is less than 10,000; however, what it lacks in size and numbers, it makes up for in almost indescribable beauty. Encircled by a sheltering necklace of pearl white, sandy beaches, the main island sits like a jewel in the center of a multi-colored lagoon; it is surrounded by offshore islets inside a protective necklace of coral. And thanks to the wonderful cinematography of this program, our sailboat ride here offers viewers a visual experience they never forget

Welcome to Cuernavaca, the capital of the state of Morelos and world famous for its temperate climate. The Spanish explorer Hernan Cortes founded this city in the 1500s, and his former palace is now the city's museum. The Cathedral, built in the 16th century by Franciscan monks, rises above the city's skyline. Its simple and austere interior complements the Gothic architecture and the fortress-like quality of the building, and the open air chapel outside the Cathedral is part of the original structure. Part of the monastery became the home of American millionaire Robert Brady in the 1960s and now houses an extensive art collection highlighted by the painting, "Self-Portrait with Monkey" by Frida Kahlo. Las Estacas Park is another attraction to visit. This ecological reserve is a peaceful sanctuary within the city, where you can enjoy many different types of water activities. Just outside Cuernavaca is one of Mexico's most important archeological sites, Teopanzolco. This was a major trading center for Indian tribes and a cultural capital of Mesoamerica for 200 years. We visit the Pyramid of the Plumed Serpent and see the carvings that were integral to the Mesoamerican calendar. Another attraction outside the city is the ultimate eco-adventure: white-water rafting! We learn the basics of this thrilling sport before rafting down the Amacuzac River. Back in the city, our final attraction is a relaxing spa experience at the Hosteria Las Quintas, the perfect ending to an exciting visit.

Puebla, built in 1532, is one of the oldest European settlements in Latin America, and is known as the "City of Ninety-Nine Churches." Examples include the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, completed in 1649, which has the tallest bell towers in Mexico, and is one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the country. Santo Domingo Church is known for its Baroque altars and was originally part of a Dominican monastery completed in 1611. Also we learn of Talavera Pottery, which is famous among Mexican crafts. These colorful ceramic tiles and artifacts with strong Moorish influence are a type of majolica earthenware still manufactured with the same techniques as in the 16th century. Coatepec, in the heart of Mexico's coffee region, has the flavor of Old Mexico and is home to the neoclassical style church Virgin Lady of Guadalupe. Then we visit Posada Coatepec Hotel, one of the most charming haciendas in Mexico, with peaceful gardens, original paintings and tiled rooms decorated with antiques, which offer history with a warm welcome.

Billions of dollars have been invested in architecture and inner city planning to allow visitors to enjoy a taste of countries around the world, from the pyramids of Egypt, the canals of Venice, the Eiffel Tower, ancient Rome, and New York City's Statue of Liberty.
