With the help of a GPS, search for “caches” using geographical coordinates and explore off the beaten path areas. This activity will add a fun touch to your hikes with family and friends. There are over 3 million geocaches in the world and Quebec hosts over 43,000 of them! Look for a Quality-Safety certified business or a regional park to find geocaches near your home or to plan a geocaching excursion on your next vacation in Quebec.
