The treasures of Quebec.
Slow tourism is the perfect opportunity to explore the scenic roads of the region. Each itinerary is an invitation to contemplate and discover the natural riches of Quebec. To travel outside the high season, plan your itinerary to avoid the more touristy spots, travel shorter distances, and lighten your daily schedule to enjoy a unique pace that allows for delightful surprises—that’s what slow tourism is all about!
It encourages travelers to connect with nature and, most importantly, to respect it. The richness of Quebec provides the opportunity to experience nature in its full glory, such as hiking in national parks, kayaking on winding rivers, stargazing in protected sites, and much more. Allow yourself to be surprised and marvel at the rich and diverse wildlife and flora. You can visit the Bonjour Quebec website to discover good agrotourism addresses that can inspire you to plan your itinerary.
Authentic encounters.
The province is dotted with charming small villages where you can have the chance to experience authentic encounters with the locals. Local markets, festivals, and events allow you to immerse yourself in the culture. Take advantage of your visit to taste the local cuisine, chat with passionate people, and engage with the warm-hearted locals.
This mode of travel is the perfect opportunity to support local artisans, for example, by tasting cider harvested directly from the orchard! Doesn’t it sound dreamy?
We tend to rush through activities and places in an attempt to do more, see more. However, the trend of mass tourism leads us to pass by lesser-known and still less-crowded natural wonders. So, let’s dare to break away from the usual patterns and prioritize an unconventional and simple journey for more authenticity! So, if you crave a peaceful and enriching adventure, set your course for Quebec in a van and let yourself be captivated by the magic of this province steeped in history, culture, and preserved nature.
