Balade intéressante, une guide qui nous a donné plein d'informations. Le sentier effectué est un peu court.

Super activité ! Le mini bus vient nous chercher en plein centre de Québec et nous amène directement dans le parc avec la guide. La randonnée guidée le matin est très intéressante et l’après midi on peut faire des activités nautiques ou faire une autre randonnée avant de repartir à Québec. Très contente d’avoir pu participé !

Nous avons passé un excellent moment en la compagnie d'Antoine notre guide. On a appris beaucoup de choses sur la faune et la flore durant notre randonnée. Le déjeuner était excellent ! De bons sandwichs, du fromage de chèvre frais, des confitures, du the glacé, des biscuits.on s'est régalés. L'après midi Antoine nous a proposé soit de randonner en autonomie soit de nouveau avec lui. Une excellente journée, je recommande les yeux fermés !

Nos llevaron en furgoneta hasta el parque natural, en el cual nos dieron unos sandwich y realizamos unas rutas por nuesta cuenta, el parque es bonito, una pena que nos lloviera a mitad de la mañana y tuvieramos que volver corriendo al centro de bienvenida.

We had a lovely time with Lorenzo on our tour. He took the time to answer questions and explained some of the vegetation on the hike. The park itself Is well maintained and the views were stunning. It takes less than an hour to get to the park from old Quebec. We then started a two hour hike with our guide and then had a short lunch. The lunch was sandwich chips and a cookie. If you want more food there are some small snacks available in the shop. After our guided tour we went on our own to the next hike. One suggestion I would make to facilitate ease of this trip is the pick up.I would encourage the owner to have a sign so it is easy for us to find the van in the morning. Additionally more communication on the way to the park would be appreciated. Merci!

En venant au Canada, je souhaitais absolument faire des parcs naturels et profitez de ces paysages magnifiques qu’offre le pays. L’une de mes meilleures excursions du séjour. Facilité de transport avec une prise en charge allé/retour depuis le centre d’info touristique, extrêmement pratique notamment quand on ne connaît pas et qu’on a pas envie de louer de voiture. Élodie notre guide fut formidable, elle nous a donné des astuces de survie en forêt et accompagné sur une des randonnées avec des cascades, très joli à voir! Très gentille j’ai grandement apprécié cette activité au cœur de la nature. Je recommande les yeux fermés!
