Nature, adventure and ecotourism
Québec is the ideal place to get up close and personal with nature. Massive forests and mountain ranges, lakes and rivers by the thousands, a wide variety of wildlife… Get your fill of fresh air in one of the most fascinating places to explore in North America!
Nature’s bounty
- National parks - 28 parks bursting with an incredible diversity of landscapes and sites offer a range of activities to get the most out of nature while doing no harm to the environment.
- Aventure écotourisme Québec - This umbrella association represents adventure tourism operators that invite you to explore untouched nature in complete safety accompanied by seasoned guides.
- Outfitters - 350 forest-based establishments offer quality accommodations and packages, not just for fishers and hunters, but also for those who simply love life in the woods.
- Aboriginal excursions – Stay with the land’s original inhabitants and see how the Amerindian and Inuit peoples reconcile their way of life and traditional values with the modern world.
Québecers are looking for ways to preserve and promote a deeper understanding of their vast natural heritage. Over the years, park administrations have developed a keen interest in the interpretation of the region’s rich flora and fauna, placing special emphasis on educating visitors who come to explore these privileged areas and raising their awareness of the sanctity of these natural habitats. UNESCO-designated biosphere reserves testify to this commitment to the environment: Mont-Saint Hilaire, Charlevoix, Lac-Saint-Pierre and Manicouagan-Uapishka and national wildlife areas.
