Percé: The Icon of La Gaspésie
Sitting just off the coast of the quaint village of Percé, Québec is a marine paradise that is home to the most iconic landmark in La Gaspésie: Le Rocher Percé, or Pierced Rock. Get up early to start your day as you witness the breathtaking and world-famous Gaspé sunrises paint the skies behind Le Rocher Percé and Île Bonaventure National Park in brilliant shades of pink, yellow, and orange.
After breakfast, make the short hike out to La Chute de la Rivière aux Émeraudes (the Emerald River Waterfall). Explore one of Québec's many fairy tale landscapes as the fall colors create a striking contrast to the vibrant emerald waters cascading over the falls. After a scenic detour back to town, spend the afternoon relaxing on the coast, where you'll learn about the marine paradise that is not just a haven for wildlife safaris, it's also one of the top scuba diving destinations in Canada.
