Chris Robinson Travel Show - Episodes

This week on the Travel Show - Ontario’s Highlands in the South Eastern part of the Province of Ontario. Rather than the skyscrapers, big box stores and restaurants of a “concrete jungle”, you will find small towns, authentic local culture and untouched wilderness. The entire region is very rural – there is only one Starbucks in its entire 23,000 square km area! The Region spans from Haliburton County at its western border to the Ottawa Valley at its eastern edge. And it’s within easy driving distance - just 30 minutes west of Ottawa and 2.5 hours east of Toronto. This is a place to escape the busy pace of city life for a very different travel experience from big city destinations. Here it is big on natural attractions – the Ottawa Valley is the Whitewater Capital of Canada, Bancroft is the Mineral Capital of Canada and merging art with nature comes naturally in the Haliburton Highlands.
