New Zealand
New Zealand’s remarkable landscapes, lush forests, incredible wildlife and great climate make it the perfect retreat for outdoor activities, as well as a great place to unwind. And the best thing about all of New Zealand’s physical, cultural and artistic landscapes is that everything is so close to each other. A multicultural, diverse and sophisticated society, the friendliness and openness of its inhabitants will also impress you.
New Zealand is the youngest country on earth—the last major landmass to be discovered. It has a rich and fascinating history, reflecting both the Maori and European heritage. Amazing Maori historic sites and taonga (treasures), some dating back almost a thousand years, are a contrast to many beautiful colonial buildings. It’s a culture that celebrates the many different lifestyles New Zealanders live, and the stories they have to tell. A walk around any New Zealand city today shows what a culturally diverse and fascinating country it has become.
With vast open spaces overflowing with spectacularly rugged landscapes, dazzling beaches, amazing geothermal and volcanic activity, a temperate climate and fascinating animal and plant life, it’s no surprise New Zealand’s natural environment is so attractive.
