Anticosti History, Culture and Paleontology Interpretation Center
A fascinating account of life through the ages: a new exhibition of fossils in Anticosti.
A unique look at the tragic events that led to the first extinction of life on Earth, approximately 445 million years ago.
​
The exhibition, offered in French and English, highlights the Anticosti fossils; namely specimens recently acquired by the municipality, following a major donation from the Safari Anticosti outfitter.
This exhibition is prepared by a team experienced in the field, in consultation with André Desrochers, scientific director of the Steering Committee for the nomination of Anticosti to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
​
This low access fee exhibition will be in place at the beginning of summer 2022 at the interpretation center located in the former church of Port-Menier.

Swimming
Anticosti Island offers you several little corners of paradise to refresh yourself. Lakes, waterfalls, rivers and canyons await your visit. Check with the tourism office for more information before setting off to discover them.
Bird watching
Many species of birds are found on the Island, including the rare bald eagle, which can be regularly observed at the mouth of the Rivière à l'Huile and Bec-Scie.
At sea, you can also observe the common eider.
​
In the forest, the ruffed grouse, the spruce grouse and the gray jay await you.
Trois-Plaines Cave
One of the longest caves in Quebec awaits you about 30 km from Port-Menier, on the territory of the Pourvoirie du Lac Geneviève.
This cave is a narrow corridor of 419 m long, widened in a few places. Explorers who venture there must be prepared to take an invigorating bath to get to the end, since the water is constantly circulating there.
They will be rewarded with the discovery of draperies, stalactites and manholes (windows). At the end of the cave, we find ourselves on a small canyon in the middle of the forest.
​
The tour is for experienced and physically fit adventurers and is not recommended for claustrophobic people.
Geocache
Traditional cache, geocache and EarthCaching
The geocaches are all placed in extraordinary places on the island. The staff at the tourism office are the keepers of the cache; they will be happy to guide you so that you can discover the beauties of Anticosti for yourselves. The cache contains a logbook and you can drop travel bugs and other trading items there. Please note that the cache is only available during the opening hours of the tourism office.
