New Zealand

New Zealand is a state of Oceania located in the Pacific Ocean southeast of Australia from which it is separated by the Tasmanian Sea.

Formed by two large islands, it has for capital Wellington but Auckland is the most populated city. 

It turns out to be a country of rare beauty and landscape variety; glacial mountains, rushing rivers, clear and deep lakes, geysers and seething mud await you.  Adventure lovers can try many outdoor activities: hiking, skiing, rafting, bungee jumping, swimming with dolphins, watching whales or catching big trout in the many streams. 

The North Island, home to Auckland, will seduce you with its volcanoes. Tongariro National Park, classified to UNESCO World Heritage Site, contains 3 activities, while the geothermal park of Rotorua is known to be the cradle of the Maori civilization. There is space for culture, visiting the museum of Te Papa in Wellington you will know the immense Maori culture.

In the South you can admire the magnificent Cook Mountain, the highest peak in the country, and visit the lake with the turquoise waters of Tekapo. Hike the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers. Don’t forget the lush forest and the magnificent beaches of Abel Tasman National Park

The most popular means of transportation in New Zealand is by bus. The vehicles are often very comfortable but on certain routes and at certain times of the year you need to book your ticket in advance. Renting a car or motorhome is less economical but gives you unparalleled freedom.

Since New Zealand is located in the southern hemisphere, its seasonality is different from that of the northern hemisphere, in fact, while in the North it has a typically sub-tropical climate during the summer (December-February), some inland and alpine regions of the South Island may have temperatures that drop to -10ºC in winter (June-August).

New Zealand could be your next adventure.
