Niagara Falls, Canada Description: Niagara Falls is one of the most popular tourist destinations in North America, made up of two separate parts, Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side and American Falls on the USA side. Although not the highest waterfall in the world (that record goes to Angel Falls in Venezuela), they move a staggering volume of 168,000 cubic metres (219,600 cubic yards) of water per minute over a drop of 51m (167ft), making them one of the natural wonders of the world. In the past, people have attempted a number of daring stunts here, including walking a tightrope across the falls and dropping over the edge in a barrel. The surrounding town, a celebrated North American honeymoon destination, offers a wealth of visitor activities including a casino, as well as land and boat tours of the falls.
