Canada
The Capilano Suspension Bridge is Vancouver’s oldest tourist attraction. With the original bridge constructed in 1889 from cedar logs, this destination attracts travellers from all over the world. This park’s main feature is the famous suspension bridge which stretches 1450 feet (137 meters) and 230 feet (70 meters) above the Capilano River. Once you’ve conquered the bridge and your adrenaline is pumping, rise up amongst the tree canopies with the Tree Top Adventures where a series of platforms and smaller bridges will give you a higher perspective. Make sure to also try the Cliffwalk, an exhilarating pathway that takes you around a granite cliffside.
