Travel social media account misidentifies BC attraction, with hilarious results
Who knew North Vancouver’s famous Capilano Suspension Bridge was actually in Portugal?
Well, it isn’t… but one popular Twitter page got it all very wrong.
Best Earth Pics tweeted a picture of the “Capilano Suspension Bridge” on November 15.
But it wasn’t the famous North Shore landmark at all.

The location that was mistakenly tweeted out is actually of the Azorean Tours in Portugal.
Of course, Vancouver locals were quick to call out the account –with a hint of sass.
Only a short walk away from Edgemont Village. A lovely place to have an authentic Italian espresso. pic.twitter.com/PjJKBrT891

Of course, the suspension bridge, while famous, flows over the even more famous Capilano River. @capsuspbridge pic.twitter.com/gusEcvEDq6

The river is held back by the Cleveland Dam, which has a drinking water reservoir for the good residents of the north shore pic.twitter.com/4kZWnTLdFw

Of course, you could continue up the road from the Dam and the suspension bridge and you would find yourself at the world renowned Grouse Mountain @grousemountain #NorthVan #grousegrind pic.twitter.com/nqQkEZ7mjW
