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.

Canadians are rightfully proud of their national capital city, Ottawa, and in this program we discover why. We learn right away what it is to be Canadian in this naturally beautiful city, which lies on the banks of the Ottawa River, a major waterway that forms the boundary between Ontario and Quebec; the Ottawa too contains the mouths of the Rideau River and Rideau Canal; the latter has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The country's fourth largest city, Ottawa has much more to offer its citizens and visitors alike. Love history? Then you'll love visiting the historic Parliament buildings on Parliament Hill; these are among Canada's most recognizable heritage sites; next we indulge in culture and view Canadian artwork at the National Gallery of Canada; then we explore the ByWard Market, the cradle of the city's French population, which once was known as Lowertown, but today is a bustling site with an exciting array of restaurants and boutiques. By tour's end viewers totally understand Capital Pride.

We begin our visit to Ottawa, Canada's capital city, at the Centennial Flame, built in 1967 to commemorate its 100th birthday, and we learn of the many festivals held here each year. Located in the province of Ontario, this city's pride is Parliament Hill, a historic cluster of buildings still used for legislative sessions. Built between 1857 and 1876, some have called it the purest example of Gothic Revival architecture in the western hemisphere. Parts were gutted by fire early in the 20th century, but the original section still houses the Library of Parliament. Royal Canadian Mounted Police patrol the area, and a highlight for tourists is the changing of the guard. Rideau Canal, a National Heritage Site, is one way to access all the historic areas of the city. Built for the city's defense during WWII, it is now used for pleasure boats. In the winter it becomes the world's largest skating rink and the perfect way to get to work each day! If you prefer walking instead of a boat ride, Sparks Street is the place to visit. This pedestrian mall and outdoor market is a stroller's delight. The National Gallery of Canada is another attraction not to be missed. Established in 1880 for the country's art collection and moved to a new building in 1998, the glass tower of the new architecture rises above the skyline to create an artistic statement of its own. Another landmark is the Chateau Laurier, built in 1912 as a railroad hotel and for members of Parliament. Its elegant Art Deco decorations still fascinate the many celebrities who stay there. Our last stop is less than twenty minutes east of Ottawa, a green space just outside the city. The Mer Bleue Conservation Area is a preserved ecosystem that delights visitors. A boardwalk spans this wetlands, best known for its sphagnum bog, and in winter there are cross-country ski trails to travel.

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."

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.

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.

The sleepless city of Las Vegas is open 24 hours a day. Here you can do anything you want, at any time. But it's not just for gambling; today, Las Vegas is a city that can be enjoyed by anyone. 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. It's a marvel of engineering and human imagination. Next we take in the Fremont Street Experience, a one-of-a-kind Light and Sound show, an exciting pedestrian promenade located in the heart of the Las Vegas strip; also we visit a museum where Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll, lives on.

Located on Mexico's southern Pacific Coast, Taxco, Ixtapa, and Zihuatenajo offer various alternatives to well-known Acapulco. Taxco is one of the least spoiled colonial towns in the country and was discovered by the Spanish explorer, Hernán Cortes, in the 16th century. It is famous for its silver mining industry; one site alone mines over 4,000 tons of silver daily. Also we visit Santa Prisca Cathedral, which can be seen from all over Taxco; it was built in 1751 by Jose La Borda and is a beautiful example of Mexican baroque style architecture. Next we visit the exotic resort town of Ixtapa with its multi-million dollar marina, magnificent plantations and Playa Palmar, the "palm trees" beach, known for its warm surf, scuba diving, and deep-sea fishing. Then we travel six miles to explore Playa del Principal, the main beach of the remote sea village of Zihuatanejo, where local fishermen for generations have moored their colorful boats after fishing out in the scenic bay.

We begin our tour reminiscing about the popular TV series, Bonanza. The legend of the Ponderosa lives on in this classic visit to the set of the show, which was filmed almost entirely near Lake Tahoe. After its 14 year run, the set was converted into a Wild West Park where visitors could enjoy hilarious re-enactments of robberies and shoot outs, learn how to snap a bullwhip, or see a blacksmith shape metal. Next we travel on the MS Dixie, Lake Tahoe's largest paddle wheeler, as we navigate Emerald Bay and marvel at the clear water and scenic views. Our last stop is Squaw Valley, home to the 1960 Winter Olympics and now a luxury resort area. There are activities available all year, from mountain biking, horseback riding, and golf to ice-skating and over 4,000 acres for skiing. A highlight of our visit is the Olympic Heritage Museum to learn more about the games and the athletes who participated.
