Diversee lands waiting to be explored.

The Cariboo-Chilcotin region of British Columbia stretches from Cache Creek in the south to Hixon in the north, and the Cariboo Mountains in the east to the Coast Mountains in the west.

Our diverse land is rich in natural elements and beauty where incredible outdoor adventure is easy to find, among rolling hills, desert lands and snow-capped mountains to raging rivers and tranquil lakes.

Experience Indigenous culture of the Secwepemc Nation on the banks of the Fraser River at Xatsull Heritage Village or take in the history of the 1860s gold rush era at Barkerville Historic Town and Park, home to more than 125 heritage buildings. Our region tells a compelling story of our past and present.

Visit one of our weekend festivals. ArtsWells will inspire and engage the creative mind, while the Williams Lake Stampede will rope you into the cowboy culture, or celebrate the gold rush heritage during Billy Barker Days in Quesnel.

We invite you to #explorecariboo.
