Osoyoos has a growing reputation as one of Canada's favorite vacation destinations; all it takes is one trip here to discover why. In 1994 Osoyoos was named by Canadians as the best small town in the entire nation. What makes Osoyoos such a draw is a combination of its stunning natural beauty (including Osoyoos Lake; the warmest lake in Canada, and the surrounding mountains), its warm and dry climate, and the charm of the town and its people.

Osoyoos is located approximately one hour south of Penticton on Hwy 97. Immediately south of Osoyoos is the US bordertown of Oroville. Osoyoos is part of the well known Okanagan region. Osoyoos has a unique claim in that it is officially the only desert in Canada. It is this warm, dry climate that makes the area a favorite for a host of Internationally known Vineyards. In fact the area is warm enough to host Canada's one and only banana plantation.

So why travel to a foreign exotic location when you can find the same experience here in Osoyoos? The town's architecture, with its "Santa Fe" building design, even gives you a sense that you are more likely in Mexico or Arizona than southern Canada. It is the combination of these unique and spectacular characteristics that make Osoyoos truly both local and exotic. Why not consider Osoyoos next time you decide to vacation somewhere out of the ordinary?
