So geocaching Canada is on your list of things to do, eh? Then you have yourself a good list and you won’t be disappointed, because there are such a wide variety of landscapes to take in, from towering mountains out west, to the rocky eastern shores that are reminiscent of the coastline you would see in a place like Ireland or Scotland.

So, if you’re an avid geocacher planning a trip there, don’t forget your GPS.
