After visiting famous natural attractions of Quebec city, (click on link ) i started my journey through many of Quebec’s beautiful tourist regions.
As you continue eastward along the coast, you will reach Rimouski. This easily accessible coastal region where land meets sea is an ideal place to come into contact with nature. Also, You can also head inland to discover (click link for things to do) the highest suspension footbridge in Québec.
A few kilometres east of Rimouski, the Pointe-au-Père maritime historic site takes you back in time to the era of the lighthouse keepers in the early 20th century. For both foreigners and native Quebecois, this peninsula surrounded by the St. Lawrence is symbol of the beautiful and wild nature of Quebec. If you have the time by going up from Rimouski you will be able to appreciate all the sorts of landscapes and atmospheres that the Gaspésie offers!
I continued my journey to come face-to-face with the Atlantic Ocean to explore the huge Gaspe Peninsula — one of National Geographic Traveller’s 50 Places of a Lifetime in Canada.
At 34 metres (112 feet) high, the Cap-des-Rosiers Lighthouse is the tallest in Canada. It is one of lighthouses not to be missed during a visit to Gaspe.
Finally, I made my way to visit the awe-inspiring Percé Rock, and immerse myself in the beautiful outdoors. I don't figure any spot in the quebec territory that is as magnificent as Rocher Perce, or Perce , a gigantic, delightful place right near Quebec's Gaspesie. As soon as you set foot in Percé, you will fall in love with this charming village.
It was my first sight of one of my top go to destinations. You can enjoy picturesque views of the rock as soon you enter Percé. I couldn't resist myself from getting as close as possible one of the 15 amazing natural arches on the world.
It is a sensational sight when you see this staggering rock bulging out from the water, it is stunning and just can be experienced by being there. It blows my mind to see this delightful site not made by man but rather by the miracles of nature.
Overall, I had a fantastic time. I loved everything about trip and vowed to never hesitate to come back to experience it again and again. Truly, it was enriching experience.
