\n Feb 23, 2015 1 CAD = 6.92 ARS<\/strong><\/p>\nFrom the bustling back streets of Buenos Aires to the icy wilds of Patagonia, Argentina<\/a> is a traveler\u2019s paradise. Home to steaks that could rival even the finest cuts of Alberta beef and a music scene that keeps the clubs buzzing all night long, Argentina is a sensory experience sure to excite each and every Canadian traveler. Not to mention, as of February 23rd<\/sup>, we hit a 1-year high at 11.26 ARS to every 1 CAD.<\/p>\nBrazil<\/h2>\n![\"canada---sandeepachetan.com\"](\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/canada-sandeepachetan.com_.jpg\")

\n Feb 23, 2015 1 CAD =2.28 BRL<\/strong><\/p>\nThe olympics haven\u2019t even started and already Canada is seeing gold. Fresh off the World Cup, Brazil is offering Canadians a nice discount at 2.88 BRL to the dollar. The country is a hub for history and culture, and not to mention home to a waterfall that makes Niagara look like a small swimming pool. Whether you\u2019re in town this summer for the holy grail of sporting competitions or finally ready to explore the underrated gems in the North<\/a>, Brazil is undoubtedly a strong choice for your hard earned travel dollars.<\/p>\nSouth Africa<\/h2>\n![\"canada---flowcomm\"](\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/canada-flowcomm.jpg\")

Feb 23, 2016 1 CAD = 11.03 ZAR<\/strong>
\n Feb 23, 2015 1 CAD = 9.24 ZAR<\/strong><\/p>\nOne of the continent\u2019s most iconic countries, South Africa is a superpower offering world-class dining, safari, coastlines, and mountains. Johannesburg has become a hub for international business and a launching point to Kruger<\/a>. Cape Town is kind of like Calgary, if Calgary had an incredibly beautiful oceanfront with crystal blue waters and jaw-dropping landscapes. Year after year, South Africa continues to \u201cWow\u201d its visitors, and now it\u2019s time for us Canucks to get in on the action. It certainly helps that we\u2019re almost up a full Toonie in 2016, sitting pretty at 11.03 ZAR to every 1 CAD.<\/p>\nMalaysia<\/h2>\n![\"canada---eric-montfort\"](\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/canada-eric-montfort.jpg\")

Feb 23, 2016 1 CAD = 3.05 MYR<\/strong>
\n Feb 23, 2015 1 CAD = 2.89 MYR<\/strong><\/p>\nFor me, Malaysia<\/a> is the first place that would have me packing my bags. Malaysia has quietly (Ok, not that<\/em> quietly) been gaining recognition as one of Asia\u2019s must-see destinations for 2016. The country has no shortage of city sites (Petronas Towers in KL and pretty much all of Singapore) but still plenty of beaches, mountains and hillside escapes for a more off-the-beaten-path experiences. Of course, the real shining star may very well be Malaysian cuisine, the beautiful intersection of Chinese and Indian flavor with influence stretching to all of it\u2019s neighbouring countries. I don\u2019t want to make any bold claims, but Malaysian cuisine may very well be the best in the entire world. Good things come in three, and today 1 CAD will get you a clean 3.05 MYR.<\/p>\nMexico<\/h2>\n![\"canada---dennis-jarvis\"](\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/canada-dennis-jarvis.jpg\")

Our friends and family have been escaping winter on Westjet flights to Mexico for longer than many of us care to remember.

Mexico has restored Mayan ruins that are almost inconceivable to the average traveller. Plus, their street food<\/a> puts all neighboring countries to shame.
