On the South Island, the Milford Sound fjord is cut spectacularly on cliffs over a thousand meters high. You can tour Fiordland National Park on trails or by boat. Auckland, the most populous city with a rich cultural life, sits on volcanic territory with almost fifty craters, already extinct.

The Tongariro National Park, a World Heritage Site by Unesco, offers hot springs and lakes with extraordinary turquoise waters. Three volcanoes are still active. Another enclave to experience geothermal activity is Wai-O-Tapu, with hot water pools and a geyser.

Lake Pukaki, in the Canterbury region, is the largest of the alpine lakes on the South Island. On the west coast, touring the Fox Glacier is a landscape experience bathed in white. New Zealand is a hiking lover's paradise. In the Mount Cook Natural Park stands the highest peak in the entire country, of the same name.
