WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT ♦ To quote one of our writers (Heather Burke) “. . . just when you start to work up a sweat, you arrive at the caves and the comfort of their natural air conditioning. Spend lots of time wandering, crawling, splashing and swimming through the ancient cavities, appreciating the quiet beauty.” That’s why you’ll love it. Call any of these companies: Lusk Caves (Gatineau Park) www.capcan.ca/gatineau/nature/luskcaves_e.asp; Bonnechere Caves www.bonnecherecaves.com; Lafleche Caves www.aventurelafleche.ca
