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!
