Located in the region of North Island in New Zealand, we find the town of Rotorua. A charming destination with a lot of attractions for all visitors.

This site is widely known for its geothermal activity, turning it around most of the tourist entertainment, among which are the geysers, such as the one in Pohuta and Whakarewarewa thermal pools and mud.

The wonderful environments scattered throughout the area tend to host major sporting events that attract large numbers of public such as in 2007 received the World Championship Waterski.

A journey filled with striking options for further distracted and many proposals to relax and forget about the hectic routine in one of the most beautiful environments on the planet.

Rotorua is also home to botanical gardens and interesting historic architecture. Known as a spa town and major tourist resort since the 1800s, many of its buildings hint at this history. Government Gardens, close to the lakeshore at the eastern end of the town, are particularly worthy of note.
