Tongariro National Park<\/strong> is awe-inspiring. Located in the centre of the North Island, this national park occupies the area squeezed between three ancient volcanoes. Simply incredible: mountain trails, frozen valleys, thermal lakes, ancient lava flows and even the highest mountain on the North Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a National Park that will enchant you from the start, and its magic will accompany you for the rest of your trip through New Zealand<\/a><\/strong>. It is not for nothing that it is considered a World Heritage Site<\/strong> by UNESCO, since this place combines Maori mythology with landscapes that seem to come from another planet. And not only that, the Tongariro National Park is the oldest national park in all of New Zealand<\/strong>, having been granted this status in 1887.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tongariro National Park is a paradise for hikers. It is home to one of the best hiking circuits in the world, the Tongariro Alpine Crossing, but it doesn’t just offer stunning routes: in the winter months you can ski on two of New Zealand’s largest ski slopes, and if skiing down Mt Ruapehu isn’t your thing, you can always relax in one of the rural towns around the national park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
