NIAGARA FALLS
★★★
Niagara Falls are considered by many to be the eighth wonder of the world.
While not exceptionally high (50 metres), the falls are among the most
powerful waterfalls in North America. Be prepared to share the experience
with the hordes of tourists who flock here to admire the awe-inspiring beauty
of the falls.
