The Beauty of Niagara Falls
By Giselle Lojano
If you are looking for a beautiful place to travel this spring break, then Niagara Falls might just be the place you’ve been searching for. Located at the border of Canada and the U.S, these three enormous waterfalls will surely take your breath away with their majestic beauty.
This last summer I visited Niagara Falls with my family, it was an unforgettable experience, the place was beautiful and there were plenty of activities available to people for all ages.

The first step to make sure you have a fun experience is to be prepared. Making reservations on time is crucial, since a lot of people visit this place it’s not likely to find a good hotel room at the last minute. My family and I had to settle for an overly expensive room with little amenities because we thought making reservations in advance was not necessary. We ended up looking for a hotel room for more than two hours.
It’s also essential to take all your travel documents with you if you plan on visiting the falls located in Canada as well. In my opinion, Canada had many more activities for children and adults. Restaurants, stores and parks full of flowers were everywhere.

On the other hand, although New York didn’t have as many restaurants and parks, there were more activities regarding the exploration of Niagara Falls. One of them was named Maid of the Mist, which basically takes you on a boat to see the Niagara Falls up close. Even if it’s warm, try to wear warm clothing since water will splash all over you once the boat is in front of the falls. As the girl who wore shorts and a tank top, trust me you will definitely get cold if you don’t.
Last, but not least, don’t forget to visit the falls at night; light projectors are placed on each side of New York and Canada, projecting light to the water as it falls. The lights change from blue to purple and from purple to red, every color is reflected and it gives the falls a mystic type of beauty.
