Finland is a natural wonderland. It has more trees than people and more islands than any other nation in the world. It boasts over 188,000 lakes and endless miles of wilderness. This means Finland is a trekkers, mountain-bikers, skiers, fishermans and watersports enthusiasts dream as they are provided with a vast playground of natural beauty. Most of which is protected by the 35 national parks that provide fantastic oppotunities to spot birds, reindeer, elks and bears.
