While you’re out there in nature, take a moment to marvel at the remarkable richness of Quebec’s ecosystems. Hiking in our forests or paddling our lakes and rivers, keep your eyes and ears open for the many secrets that the fauna and flora can reveal. Carved by glaciers over 10,000 years ago, our landscapes also have much to tell. To watch moose, wolves, whales or birds, to learn about the trees and plants of our forests or to understand the complex processes that formed our mountains and valleys, opt for an excursion with an interpretive guide or as a self-guided itinerary. Our Quality-Safety certified businesses and our regional parks will help you experience an unforgettable contact with Quebec’s nature.
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.
