Giorno 4 — Ottawa → Montebello (Ouataouais) → Quebec City
Breakfast. Departure for Montebello. Photographic safari in Omega Park aboard a modified school bus to see wolves, bears, bison, ibex, reindeer, foxes, and coyotes. Even though the animals live in captivity, they have access to vast spaces. Continuation to Quebec City. Upon arrival, there will be a panoramic tour of the city. Highlights of the visit: the old town with Place Royale, the fortifications, the Citadelle, the famous Chateau Frontenac, and a glimpse of the modern city. Québec City, capital of the eponymous province, is the most European city in North America, the only one north of Mexico to have kept its fortified walls, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Set on a promontory above the St Lawrence River, it is dominated by the unmistakable silhouette of the Château Frontenac, a sumptuous hotel towering over Vieux-Québec. The cobbled streets of the old town, divided into Haute-Ville and Basse-Ville, enchant with their stone houses, boutiques, cafés and Francophone atmosphere, especially magical under winter snow. The Petit-Champlain district, among the oldest on the continent, and Place Royale preserve the charm of New France. The Terrasse Dufferin offers scenic walks over the river, while the gastronomy celebrates Québec cuisine. Romantic, historic and uniquely characterful, Québec City is a city to be explored on foot, among fortifications, alleys and old-world atmospheres. Dinner free. Available evening.
