Questions people ask
How many caves can you visit in Quebec?
5 caves we've checked are open to visitors. We leave out wild caves that are gated or need a caving permit.
What should you wear in a cave?
Closed shoes with grip, because paths are often wet. Most caves here stay between about 4 and 10 °C all year, so bring a warm layer.
