Valle volcánico Waimangu, fantástica reserva termal en Rotoura. El valle de Waimangu era, hasta la explosión del año 1886, un valle cubierto por la vegetación pero sin cráteres volcánicos.
Tras esa explosión, se formaron los diversos cráteres, fumarolas y calderas volcánicas, por lo que es uno de los pocos sitios de este tipo en el que se conoce la edad exacta del lugar. Sorprende ver fotos de esos años, e incluso fotografías antiguas de las principales explosiones. En la visita a Roturua, en la isla norte de Nueva Zelanda, uno se plantea qué reservas volcánicas visitar, ya que la oferta es amplia y todas son de pago.
Tanto Wai-O-Tapu (ya te lo contamos en otra entrada) como el Valle Volcánico Waimangu valen cada dólar neozelandés que pagues por la entrada. La visita de Waimangu. Nservation Campsite Pass.

It’s been non-stop for me for the last 48 hours. After wrapping up an intense day at work on Wednesday, there was just no time for pause as I rushed home to face a frantic evening of last minute packing for yet another much anticipated visit to New Zealand (also known to us as “the country we should have moved to”). True to our form, despite messing around with our stuff for several days prior, we were still nowhere near ready, and by the time we had everything in a more or less decent state, it was close to midnight. Our Thursday was essentially a day of travelling, summed up by a 4:30am start, a roughly 1hr cab ride to the airport, a 3 hour flight, a 5.5 hour drive from Wellington to Whakapapa (look up pronunciation!) Village in the Tongariro National Park, followed by some frantic gear organisation in the hotel room.
Five hours later, I snapped awake, well before the alarm went off. Whakapapa Village walking tracks: Walking and tramping in Tongariro National Park, Whakapapa Village area.

To the west Cape Maria Van Dieman and Motuopao Island, to the east is Piwhane/Spirits Bay and Hikurua/de Serville Cliffs, the North Island's most northern point. Offshore, you can witness the immense power of two mighty oceans merging. The currents of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean meet in a foaming swell of broken water over the Columbia Bank.

Most of Northland’s ancient forest cover has been lost to saw and fire, plundered for the precious timber of the kauri tree or cleared for farmland. However the forests are now under the protection of the Department of Conservation. Waipoua is home to the kauri, one of the world’s mightiest trees. The largest kauri reach more than 50 metres tall, have trunk girths up to 16 metres, and sprang from seed as long as 2,000 years ago.
