Whether you choose to camp or stay in a hotel or inn, take off to discover the breathtaking scenery and enjoy some original activities that will please the whole family.
Tricks, mysteries, and lots of laughter!
Starting on July 21, the Labyrinthe Arctic Gardens is open in Donnacona. The labyrinth is a giant corn maze, and this year Mayan culture is being honoured. Your quest will be filled with mystery and characters from the past. Will you be able to beat the labyrinth? On the return trip, make a stop at the fishway in Cap-Santé. The interpretation panels on site will tell you all you want to know about salmon migration.

Did you know there is an enchanted forest in Saint-Raymond? The Vallée Secrète is a fantastic universe filled with gnomes. You can take part in one of 12 interactive treasure hunts that all lead to the Tinin-Nain magic show. You'll be provided with accessories, including a pointed hat.
Explore the area!
Don't let Mother Nature's caprices spoil your vacation. There are a number of original, instructive activities that will make you forget rainy days. One of these is the Grotte le Trou du diable (devil's hole grotto). Go to Saint-Casimir de Portneuf to visit the second-longest grotto in Quebec. The route will take you into the gallery by walking through a small stream. Don't forget your rain boots!
Treat yourself to an extraordinary adventure on the Sainte-Anne River. The Excursions de l’Ouest suggest an excursion on an inflatable raft that leaves from Saint-Alban, near the old hydroelectric plant. The rapids are easy to master, so the whole family can enjoy the adventure.
