Published on September 15, 2025 • Attractions to discover
Renowned for their hospitality and sense of sharing, Quebec's 55 Indigenous communities offer authentic and memorable experiences. Across the province, Indigenous Tourism Quebec invites you to explore the nature, culture, and expertise of the First Nations.
Tourisme Autochtone Québec
Whether you're observing wildlife, discovering medicinal plants, savouring traditional dishes with a contemporary twist or staying in unique accommodations, every moment brings you closer to the richness and vitality of these ancestral cultures that are also rooted in modernity.
Reconnect with wildlife and nature
How about going on a guided hike to discover the forest from a unique perspective during your authentic stay? Along trails, you may encounter beavers, observe moose or even spot a black bear in its natural habitat. Bird watching and discovering ecosystems of rich biodiversity also adds to the experience. Your guide will also share traditional knowledge of medicinal plants, revealing the secrets of local species, from young fir shoots to cattail flowers!
Discover Indigenous flavours
Through workshops and demonstrations showcasing the treasures of the forest and rivers, you are sure to be captivated by the richness of Indigenous culinary traditions. Berries, squash, game and fish are transformed into delicious dishes created by chefs and Indigenous knowledge keepers. Imagine sitting around a crackling fire while tasting thousand-year-old recipes or discovering gourmet creations such as infused oils, boreal spices and pastries with local flavours. An authentic experience that will awaken your senses and your curiosity!
Go on an immersive stay off the beaten path
In the fall, the landscapes are adorned with flamboyant colours, creating the ideal setting for an extraordinary getaway. It’s a perfect time to go on couple’s getaway or a family trip and enjoy an authentic stay by sleeping in a teepee, yurt, or prospector tent, or even in a fully equipped cottage offering top comfort and breathtaking views. Depending on your preferences, choose an outfitter on the banks of a wild river, a rustic camp in the middle of the forest, or a package combining accommodations and activities, such as a whale-watching cruise. In the evening, let yourself be charmed by storytelling, craft workshops, and unforgettable encounters around the campfire.
