  3. Many tourist attraction in Ontario are perfectly and naturally made as being seen in the caves, mountains, islands, beaches and even for buildings, museum etc. Each town has different attractions that one to consider for your tourist destination. Collingwood is a town in Simcoe Country, Ontario that has rich natural environment. This place is perfect for those who loves outdoor activities, extreme sports and travelers. In Collingwood you can found the Blue Mountain, the highest ski hill, if you are fan of skiing and snowboarding you definitely would love to do your sports here. Many ski resorts in the Blue Mountain are open for your trip and a lodge for you to stay. You can do biking, hiking and walking in the Scenic Caves if you don’t want snow sports. You can feel there the freshness of environment with their eco adventure tour. But how we get there if we are not a Canadian citizen? We need country guides to learn more about Ontario in Canada and to prepare our next travel in order to get there.
