New Zealand facts & history in brief               New Zealand Map


Waimangu

is a thermal valley, 25 km south from Rotorua and a defacto replacement for the world unique and beautiful 'Pink and White Terraces', that were locally called the 'eight wonder of the world'.
One night in June 1886 the extinct volcanoes Tarawera and Ruawhai burst into action and dramatically altered the local scenery by burying some Maori villages and the Terraces.
Waimangu is very beautiful and interesting.
The Emerald Pool, the Waimangu Cauldron, the Cathedral Rocks and the Echo Crater are very beautiful and colourful because of the colour of the rocks and chemicals in the thermal activity.
