Countryside Of Quebec

OVERVIEW

Enjoy the scenery as Mother Nature reigns supreme in the pristine countryside surrounding Quebec City. Riding through the foothills, you will see the majestic Laurentian Mountains in the distance, the St. Lawrence River below and the wonders of nature in every direction. In time, you will pause for photos at Lac-Beauport. More natural beauty lies ahead at Montmorency Falls, which explorer Samuel de Champlain named for his patron, the Duke of Montmorency. It is a memorable tribute, as the cascades are 90 feet higher than Niagara Falls. A Stop will be made at the spectacular Montmorency Falls. Later, you will learn how maple syrup is made and sample sweet maple taffy at a sugar shack. NOTE: Depending on availability, sugar shack visit may be done in Island of Orléans instead of Lac Beauport
