BonusFinder Canada created a ranking of ‘the most magical places in Canada’ by scraping Tripadvisor for keywords linked with ‘magic’ and collating Instagram hashtags and average reviews for each wonder.
Niagara Falls came first with a score of 9.6 out of 10. The natural wonder has 317,000 Instagram hashtags as well as 1,161 mentions of words associated with ‘magical’.
In the report, the experts at BonusFinder offer this description of the magical appeal of the area: “Situated on the Niagara River, the Falls is known for its mesmerizing display of roaring sound which can be heard from a distance, creating a hypnotic auditory experience.
And while the list for the seven natural wonders of the world varies, Niagara Falls is the one constant, with water continuously plummeting from a height of up to 57 meters into a chasm to create awe-inspiring visuals.”
In second place is Alberta’s stunning glacial Lake Louise (9.4/10) “with its dazzling turquoise blue waters set against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains which evokes deep emotions and a sense of wonder to those who visit.”
Moraine Lake in B.C. came in third (8.8/10), and “is known for its unbelievably turquoise-blue waters. The vibrant color is due to glacial rock flour suspended in the water, creating a surreal and magical appearance. This variety adds to the sense of magic as visitors can explore different natural environments in one place.”
