It is on the borders of Northern Quebec that a land of excess opens up, a place where communion with nature, but also with traditions, is inevitable. Covering some 507,000 km², Nunavik is home to Inuit, polar bears, caribou and muskox, not to mention the majestic northern lights that illuminate its Arctic sky. In this immense territory, where natural spaces stretch as far as the eye can see, three national parks share the spotlight, hosting each of the most spectacular natural jewels. To discover them, let yourself be guided by the Nunavimmiut, true protectors and ambassadors of Nunavik parks

Meeting the Inuit

Inuit have been present on this northern land since time immemorial and are its guardians. Their culture and traditions, intimately linked to nature, are marked by authenticity and a deep knowledge of the territory. They are happy to share this rich ancestral heritage with visitors. You will surely have the chance to have tea with an elder and let yourself be rocked by the tales and legends of the area, or to attend the famous throat singing whose tradition goes back thousands of years. Inuit also have their own language, Inuktitut, whose words describe the environment around them and how they live. Although many speak English - sometimes even French - learning a few words in the local language before setting foot in it is highly recommended.

Three parks, three exceptional destinations

Operating under the aegis of the Kativik Regional Government, Nunavik's national parks protect natural regions with extraordinary characteristics. Just think of the Parc national des Pingualuit, probably the best known of the three because of its huge impact crater, 3.4 kilometres in diameter, in the centre of which is a lake with clear blue waters and among the purest in the world. East of Ungava Bay, flirting with Labrador, Kuururjuaq National Park is home to the famous Torngat Mountains, home to the highest peaks in eastern North America. A haven for adventurers looking for a little height! In contrast, near Umiujaq and Hudson Bay, Tursujuq National Park owes its reputation to its size (26,107 km²), which makes it the largest park in the province. With its Hudsonian cuestas, its Tasiujaq Lake (or Lac Guillaume-Delisle, the second largest in Quebec) and its double meteorite crater at Lake Wiyâshâkimî, it offers breathtaking landscapes and is home to an extremely rare population of freshwater seals. Last but not least, Ulittaniujalik National Park, which officially began operations in the summer of 2019, is located in the heart of the glacial valley of the George and Ford rivers and the surrounding highlands. It offers spectacular landscapes where contrasting waterfalls and imposing mountains follow one another in the midst of boreal forest and arctic tundra.

Adventures larger than life

To make life easier for you in this vast wilderness, Nunavik Parks offers all-inclusive packages that combine culture, nature and traditions. Everything is taken care of, including the return flight from Montreal, your beds and the loan of equipment for your adventures. Some are offered in an autonomous formula, but for a first experience, we recommend guided stays, especially as they are offered by the local community. It couldn't be more authentic! Whether camping under a starry sky, trekking to the highest peak of the Torngat Mountains (Mount D'Iberville, 1,646 m), facing the tumultuous waters of the Koroc River by kayak or rafting, or canoeing down the George River peacefully, there is only one thing to remember.
