Part treasure hunt, part orienteering, geocaching is a popular outdoor activity that can be enjoyed in the wilderness or in the city. 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.
From Tadoussac and Sacré-Coeur to Blanc-Sablon, passing through Fermont, the Côte-Nord is a region of grandeur and breathtaking nature. In addition to hosting the Daniel-Johnson Dam, the largest multi-arch-and-buttress dam in the world, and the Mingan Archipelago, home to the highest concentration of monoliths in Canada, the Côte-Nord is renowned as one of the best places in the world to observe whales in the St. Lawrence. The region is also an extraordinary playground for outdoor and nature enthusiasts: hiking, sea kayaking, wildlife observation and ice fishing are just a few of the activities to enjoy during a stay in the region or on a road trip.
