Quebec is Canada's largest province, yet it can barely contain its own natural splendor. Countless rivers and lakes, endless forests, fjords, mountain ranges, and the St. Lawrence Seaway combine to give Quebec a landscape of unsurpassed scenery. Home to two of North America's most intriguing cities, Quebec is a land of tremendous culture and history. This trip gives you the opportunity to discover the best Quebec has to offer.
We explore the European-flavored capital Quebec City, the only walled city in North America perched on the cliffs above the mighty St. Lawrence. Next we sample some of the best of Quebec’s amazing natural heritage by whale watching in Tadoussac and then camping in the beautiful St. Maurice Wildlife Reserve. We will also take some time to soak up the atmosphere in the charming city of Montreal where funky musicians, restaurants and shops blend with the relaxed cosmopolitan residents of this economic and cultural centre:
