#3 in Best Places to Visit in February
Enjoy world-class skiing before the temperatures rise in Whistler, British Columbia. Whistler Blackcomb is the largest ski resort in North America, with nearly 8,200 acres and more than 200 trails. For those who aren’t interested in skiing or just want some variety, the town offers other things to do. Adventurous travelers can go zip lining, bungee jumping, ice cave exploring or axe throwing, while art and history lovers should check out the Audain Art Museum and the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre.
Playa del Carmen
#4 in Best Places to Visit in February
Like most great beach towns, Playa del Carmen, Mexico, boasts gorgeous white sand and clear blue water, but it also features some more unique offerings. Known as one of the best diving destinations in the world, Playa is home to several must-see aquatic attractions, including Río Secreto (an underground river and cavern) and Xel-Há (a prime spot for swimming and snorkeling with fish). Keep in mind that the city’s comfortable winter temperatures also make it appealing to tourists in February, so book your flights and accommodations several months in advance to secure lower rates.
