Cave or Mine in Quebec

Group at the Mouth of Laflèche Cave Cave or Mine Quebec’s mines and caves offer visits rich in discoveries, with a thousand and one secrets to reveal. Spelunking is a fascinating activity, accessible to all, where you can explore natural underground caves, discovering the mysterious world of caves and caverns. The Laflèche Cave, in the Outaouais, and the Trou de la Fée (Fairy Opening), in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, are just a few examples of caves where this unusual activity can be practiced.
