Regions
The Gaspésie region is a true festival of wildlife, and from September onwards, nature puts on its finest colours to make your animal encounters even more spectacular. Out on the water, you can meet whales, seals and many other aquatic species, while in the air, thousands of gannets and other seabirds offer a beautiful aerial spectacle! In the heart of the forest, moose, caribou, bears and other land mammals fascinate anyone who dares to venture out. So keep your eyes open and your camera close by to create your own memories of this privileged contact with animals.
Whether you’re looking to hike in nature, experience the thrills of a via ferrata climb or explore off the beaten track on an ATV, the Matapédia Valley of Gaspésie is an exceptional place to discover. From mid-September to early October, when fall foliage is at its peak, it’s hard to imagine anyone resisting its spell! Looking for ideas on how to make the most of a visit to this area? Why not create an itinerary that includes its regional parks for a multitude of outdoor activities, as well as markets, gourmet stores and restaurants to sample the local flavours?
