Quebec at it's best!
This trip through the French-speaking and charming province of Quebec takes you to a special stretch of Gaspesie National Park with vast coniferous forests and tundra areas. Chic-choc and McGerrie Mountains are the places to spot the region's wildlife; caribou, white-tailed deer, moose and more than 150 species of birds. More wildlife follows as you set sail for the spectacular Forillon National Park with dramatic, sheer cliffs, clear blue bays and mysterious caves. Look out for blue whales, seals, beavers, porcupines and many bird species as you hike through the rugged wilderness.
That's not all, on the way back to Montreal you will enter Miguasha Provincial Park, a forested park where fossils have been found from as many as 380 million years ago. Not for nothing has the park been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
