Niagara Falls to Burkina Faso

Niagara Falls is a name given to three huge waterfalls that bestride the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of New York. The three waterfalls are the Bridal Veil Falls, American Falls and Horseshoe Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lies on the Canadian side, while the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls lie on the American side. The Niagara Falls is known both for its natural scenic beauty and for being a valuable source of hydroelectric power. The oldest and of course, one of the best attractions in Niagara Falls is the Maid of the Mist - a thrilling boat cruise that takes people to the bottom of the falls. The Prospect Point Park - offering spectacular views of the American Falls – is a prime attraction on the American side. When tourists arrive from the Canadian side, they are showered with many attractions, such as the Queen Victoria Park that has well-maintained gardens and the decks that offer breathtaking views of both the falls on the American side. There are underground walking trails leading to observation rooms, where visitors get an impression of being in the middle of the falling waters. A trip to the Niagara Falls is simply a must for everyone. To explore this natural wonder in a hassle-free and affordable manner, tourists can avail travel packages from MakeMyTrip.
