Today we get to New Zealand, more precisely at the center of the North Island, to visit one of the most beautiful places in the country in terms of nature and scenery and also by the varied activities that can be done there.

We are talking about the Tongariro National Park, one of the oldest in New Zealand, surrounded by volcanic mountains currently active and that is one of the most important tourist attractions in the country.

Enter the park will observe some of their most important elevations that are called Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe and Tongariro and some of them are considered sacred and therefore requires the utmost respect.

Tourists who visit this national park will have the opportunity to perform various activities such as fishing, rafting, skiing, cycling, horseback riding among others, and if you're not fond of practice with this type of proposal, just enjoying the scenery can enjoy majestically around you, its flora and fauna.

The Tongariro National Park, was declared as one of 24 World Heritage sites by UNESCO, making it one of the most important sites for cultural tourism internationally.
