	Niagara Falls:

Le cascate più famose del mondo si trovano a circa 700 km da New York e segnano con le loro acque il confine tra Stati Uniti e Canada; nate dall’incontro tra il Lago Eire e il Lago Ontario le Niagara Falls offrono al visitatore uno spettacolare fronte d’acqua lungo quasi mille metri e alto 60. Chi vuole vedere da vicino le cascate senza paura di bagnarsi un po’, può approfittare del “Maid of Mist”, il battello che ad orari stabiliti accompagna i turisti proprio sotto il muro d’acqua. Se si arriva dal versante statunitense si può facilmente passare in Canada grazie al “Rainbow Bridge”; chi si attarda fino a sera può godere invece della suggestiva visione delle cascate illuminate.
