Parc National de la Jacques-Cartier: What to see nearby?
Only a few kilometres from Quebec is Jacques-Cartier national park, (named after the river that goes through it) which is one of Quebec's most popular National Parks in all seasons.
My suggestion
If you plan to go camping there for a few days be careful to follow the advice of the Quebecois on how to behave should you meet a bear...

My suggestion
I love extreme sports. It was the first time I did white water rafting. I was soaked to the skin but I loved the sensation.
If you are taking off for Canada, and especially for Quebec, we can help you plan so you can travel eco-responsibly! Because Quebec has its own eco-tourism label: Aventure Écotourisme Québec. You can trust them... but still keep your eyes open!
