Experience The Great Outdoors With Ranch Life In Canada From i-to-i

May 6, 2009 - PRLog -- The financial skies of the world’s once cosmopolitan cities are looking increasingly gloomy for city dwellers. For those who are growing tired of grey urban landscapes, travelling is proving to be a popular option. Doing something completely different and setting off into the great wide world is an attractive prospect not only of the change of air but for a change of culture and company. It can be a tricky task, however, to find a trip that gives travellers the chance to really get away from it all without having to take a few months off work.

Canada is world renowned for its expanse of natural beauty. It’s stunning and peaceful countryside is a varied mixture of mountains, glaciers, secluded lakes and magical forests that truly capture the ideal of the great outdoors. Home to natural wonders such as Niagara Falls and the Rocky Mountains, adventurers looking for an adrenalin filled trip certainly won’t be disappointed. For travellers who want to escape to the outdoors, but don’t have 6 months to spare i-to-i have the perfect option.

The brand new Ranch trip in Canada is a great way for travellers to see the best of Canada’s natural scenery and live a completely different lifestyle. Travellers can escape the noisy street corners, crowded bars and over-packed sandwich shops of the central cities and get a taste of real country life on a Canadian ranch or farm. A unique opportunity to live amongst the locals, travellers will stay with a local family and spend 4 weeks surrounded by all of the elements of farm life; tractors, horses, cattle and plenty of fresh air!

Hands on travellers will be glad to hear that it’s not all about admiring the surroundings! Staying on the ranch will mean learning all of the ins and outs as well as getting stuck in with daily tasks and leaning how to be a real life ranch hand. After the weeks work, there will also be the chance to unwind and explore this incredible country. Travellers can take their pick of rodeo events, market fairs and country music festivals.

Adrenalin junkies who want to see the really wild side of the country can use their time off to head to any one of Canada’s amazing natural destinations, which include Dinosaur Provincial Park and Nahanni National Park Reserve. Adventure activities are available in abundance and travellers can choose from skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, climbing, kayaking and canoeing to name only a few.
