Travel in city Columbia, Britain

Tucked between Vancouver Island’s pristine waterways, lush forests, and rugged wilderness is some downright delicious coastal cuisine. Chefs, distillers, and purveyors here rely on locally grown ingredients to infuse their creations with the flavors of the destination itself.

Located just moments away from the renowned Whistler resort in British Columbia, the breathtaking Wedge Mountain Lodge & Spa is expected to open its doors this upcoming fall in November. Whistler is famous for skiing due to its exceptional snow conditions, extensive ski terrain, and world-class ski facilities.

British Columbia – Canada’s westernmost province, home to the vibrant city of Vancouver and world-class skiing at Whistler – is known for its outstanding natural beauty.

The booming city of Vancouver on the west coast of Canada is British Columbia’s biggest attraction. Each year over 10 million people visit the city, but far fewer explore beyond its forested North Shore or the Pacific Coast horizon. Just a short drive from the city you'll find mountains, lakes, vineyards, islands and inlets to explore, and a fascinating First Nations culture to understand.

Wildlife lovers have plenty of reasons to head up to Gunung Leuser, but for many the big draw is the chance to see one of the world’s rarest animals, the orang-utan, whose existence is threatened by the continued felling of its habitat. There are only three places to stay, but you’re free to explore the jungle by boat, foot, or on the back of one of the seven elephants who are used to patrol the area and deter loggers. Whether you see an orang-utan or not, it’s a world few get to experience.
