Quote:Well, in Canada, we have about a bazillion gorgeous, glorious parks that are the envy of the world. I find Jasper particularly nice. Also, while not technically a park, a trip up north to the Yukon during the summer is surprisingly beautiful.
However, the most impressive park I've ever been to wasn't in Canada - it was the Iguazu (Iguaçu) National Park(s) at the border between Argentina and Brazil. The waterfalls there are just out of this world, and for the history-minded, the Guarani/Jesuit Missions are among the most fascinating and unique communities ever to exist. A remarkable place - although I must say I've never been down to Ushuaia, although I walk by advertisements for tours down there all the time these days. Maybe I should make the trip.

Canada is defenitely on the wish list. I would probably go for a trip to north west US / southwest Canada.
I didn't visit Iguazu.....Argentina is just to big so you have to choose an area, knowing that you will miss a lot of nice things.
I defenitely can recommend you a trip to Patagonia.....just a short flight from Ushuaia you have the Los Glacieres where hug glaciers continuously break of partly into a lake....very spectacular.
