Manitoba is the kind of place where you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but at the centre of everything. It's where golden wheat fields meet infinite blue sky. Cool, clean lakes — all 110,000 of them — beckon the adventurer and the rejuvenator in you. Unexplored parks and forests fill you with the indigenous spirit of our fur-trade past. On the wind-swept tundra you'll learn more about wildlife and yourself than ever imagined. Winnipeg is our cultural oasis. A capital city renowned for world-class performing arts and lively cultural gatherings — all offered with an air of modesty and down-home hospitality. Connect with a mosaic of cultures at Folklorama, the world's largest multicultural festival or Festival du Voyageur, a winter celebration of Manitoba's fur trading past. It's the promise of polar bears, beluga whales, and awesome northern lights that will bring you to Churchill; it's the warmth of your hosts in this remote northern town that will stay in your soul. Roam the tundra alongside these majestic bears in vehicles designed specifically for polar bear viewing or walk with polar bears and feel your heart race as one peeks up from behind a rock along the Hudson Bay coastline. On a summer safari, kayak or snorkel with a pod of belugas; these ghostly white whales emerging from deep Arctic waters with a smile. Fly through the forest on a dog sledding cart with wheels and keep those binoculars close to observe the hundreds of species of birds found in the area. Manitoba's abundance of lakes and rivers make for a paddler's paradise. The diverse landscapes, from rocky outcrops to broad valleys and lush forests, offer endless trails for outdoor enthusiasts to explore. Don't let our still waters fool you; Manitoba is more compelling the deeper you go. We invite you to explore, to engage with us. Take a moment to let Manitoba capture your heart.
