In the Torngat Mountains National Park with the Inuit

The word Torngat alone, which derives from Tongait, the Inuit language for 'place of the spirits', suggests how inspiring it is to discover the Torngat Mountains National Park, which covers 9,700 square kilometres of spectacular wilderness, from Saglek Fjord to the northern tip of Labrador, and westwards from the Atlantic coast to the Quebec border. Its most numerous 'inhabitants' are undoubtedly the polar bears and caribou that peep through the small glaciers, while the Inuit people devote themselves, today as in their most ancestral past, to fishing and hunting, moving continually through this naturalistic scenario of rarefied beauty. There is a wide variety of experiences that can be had in the company of the representatives of these ancient tribes: a night hike in the spectacular fjords, culinary adventures, hiking followed by camping in the forests, boat trips in these very remote and wild landscapes, always starting from the Torngat Mountain Base Camp on the Saglek Fjord, open until the end of August (https://thetorngats.com/). Among the most touching adventures, you can visit Hebron founded by Moravian missionaries in 1830, now a National Historic Site, walk along the mythical Nachvak Brook trail used as the main transport route by the Labrador and Quebec Inuit. And, again, head for the idyllic North Arm, a boat route through the majestic 914-metre drop of Saglek Fjord where you will encounter ancient bivouacs, graves, hunting lodges, sandy beaches, an indigo blue lake and a waterfall. In Sallikuluk, on the other hand, one comes across stratified archaeological sites spanning five millennia, including villages where the houses are made of earthen clods, and then embarks on a journey to Rose Island where migratory birds, seals and polar bears live.
