Nature Getaways

In this fast-paced modern world, we tend to forget how much being in nature can be good for the soul. With a sparsely populated territory of nearly 280,000 km² (108,000 square miles), a majestic river that widens into the sea, two mountain ranges and 13 species of whales, Québec maritime is truly a nature destination.

This natural heritage is accessible through numerous tourist sites that protect and showcase it. In all, Québec maritime boasts ten national parks, five wildlife reserves and a large number of nature interpretation and observation sites.

There is no doubt that Québec maritime is an ideal region for nature getaways—in a unique environment where the sea and mountains meet!
