CHUTES WABER @ PARC NATIONAL DE LA MAURICIE | Vlog #2

*Plan Your Visit to Chutes Waber @ Parc National de la Mauricie*

[Visit the Park Website](https://parcs.canada.ca/pn-np/qc/maur...)

*TIPS:*

- Be early. Check the schedule of the park and the boat rental area. During summer, they usually open at 9 AM.
We passed by the reception area to get the park map and to use the toilet.

- It is good to start early because it will take 1 hour or more of canoeing and 1 hour of hiking, depending on your pace and fitness level, and the same on the way back.

- Reserve your canoe or kayak online to avoid line-ups, especially if you are planning to do this trip during the summer: [Reserve Here](https://locationcanot.com/embarcation....

- Check online or on YouTube how to canoe. If you are a first-timer, it will be difficult to navigate the canoe without any knowledge, as some parts are wavy.

- Use water shoes when you get in the canoe. There will be some blocked areas where you need to get out of the water and lift or push the canoe. Expect to get wet even before you reach the riverbank. Be very careful because you can get wounded by the branches of small plants or little trees.

- Make sure to use waterproof bags.

- Don’t forget to bring anti-mosquito or bug lotion/spray.

- You can have your snacks after canoeing (on the riverbank before hiking) or next to the falls. We found a space where we could eat next to the falls before taking a dip. Make sure to clean your area and not litter.

*Must-haves:*
- Water shoes
- Sunscreen
- Sunglasses
- Mosquito/bug lotion/spray
- Snacks
- Shorts/towels
- Power bank
- Running/hiking shoes/socks
- Water bottle
- Waterproof bag

ENJOY! ❤️
