The beautiful New Zealand is Vibrant, full of culture and with lots of entertainment options.

It's practically impossible not to be impressed right away by this amazing place.

To help you choose where to travel, today we gonna show you how amazing New Zealand is.

The small size of the country can, at first glance, give the impression of being a quick place to get to know. 

New Zealand is to be lived calmly and, preferably, on itineraries that cover the entire North Island and South Island, the main portions of land that make up the country. The truth is, New Zealand becomes even more interesting with each day you pass by. So stay as long as you can! The grandiose landscapes and the mystery that surrounds the place have always piqued the curiosity of travelers from all over the world, who see the country as an exotic destination full of possibilities. Embarking on New Zealand is on every adventurer's bucket list. And no less. The place brings together in a very small space an absurd amount of different landscapes, as if we were traveling through several countries at the same time.

Traveling around New Zealand makes tourists feel a bit of the kiwi spirit (as New Zealanders are called), of taking life lightly and carefree. The country is an invitation to relax. Get in the mood as soon as possible and enjoy! Don't miss out on discovering the Maori culture, the original population of New Zealand and which, together with the kiwis, gives the country the delicious air it has today. And to test New Zealand hospitality, always strike up a conversation with the popular "Kia Ora", the Maori greeting of welcome and hello. It's worth opening that smile upon arrival.

The North Island (North Island) is the most populous in New Zealand and stands out for the largest cities in the country: Auckland and Wellington. The North Island has more urban areas, which makes it quite different from the South Island. There are several cities along the roads and the main tourist attractions are almost always accessible by locations where there is a good supply of shops, hotels and restaurants. The North Island's attractions are not limited to natural landscapes and national parks. On the island, there is a great mix of public and private attractions, ranging from the Hobbiton studios – where scenes from the Lord of the Rings saga were filmed – to geothermal parks with volcanic activity, in the city of Rotorua. It will be difficult to decide where to start!

The main cities on the North Island are Auckland and Wellington. Auckland is the largest city in the country and the gateway to almost all foreign visitors to New Zealand. It is a great destination to get acquainted with the country and start your journey through the two islands. Wellington, from where the ferry to the South Island departs, is a delicious stop for those looking for a big city, but cool and unpretentious. It's one of those places where you want to sit at the table for a coffee or a local beer and just hang around for many days. Both Auckland and Wellington are worth a visit, even if just in passing.

For those looking for different landscapes, the North Island will also please! From beaches to volcanoes, there will be no shortage of beautiful scenery for photos. To see natural phenomena unfamiliar to Brazilians, start with Rotorua and Lake Taupo. Both regions are marked by intense geothermal activity — the result of volcanoes — and offer parks with geysers, bubbling mud, boiling water and sulfur pools. In addition to the parks, it is worth experiencing the natural phenomena also in spas, pools and rivers with naturally heated water. A delight! In addition, you can still enjoy trails on the edge of scenarios such as Huka Falls. It is worth mentioning that in Rotorua and Taupo the Maori culture is quite present. Take the opportunity to learn more about the native population of New Zealand and understand the formation of the country.

Those who are looking for natural attractions and don't give up going on some trails can't miss the Tongariro National Park, where one of the most famous day hikes in New Zealand is located. The Tongariro Alpine Crossing pleases as much for the physical challenge as for the landscapes, which include scenery with petrified lava, emerald green lakes and views of volcanoes. It is the most sought after trail on the North Island and a good choice for adventure in the right measure.

If your preference is for beaches, there is nothing to worry about. The North Island has a great coastline and movie-style scenery. The Coromandel Peninsula, for example, was the scene of scenes from the saga The Chronicles of Narnia. The film made Cathedral Cove beach even more famous, where a passage through the rock resembles the shape of a cathedral. The trail leading to the beach is a great walk and leads to other beautiful stretches of sand. Take the day to relax! In the same region, there is also Hot Water Beach, where it is possible to dig a small pool in the sand from which hot water springs, an effect of geothermal activity and guaranteed fun. Other regions that appeal to sea lovers are Bay of Island, in the far north; the islands and beaches around Auckland, such as Piha Beach; and Bay of Plenty on the East Coast, home to White Island and one of the world's most accessible volcanoes.

The South Island (South Island) of New Zealand has as main attractions the grandiose landscapes that form in the midst of the mountains and lakes that permeate the island. It is a bit absurd to imagine that two islands so close together can have such different reliefs and scenery, but the truth is that most of those spectacular images that made New Zealand famous are in the South Island. If your dream, when traveling to the country, is to hike trails, see turquoise lakes, visit fjords, stay in front of snowy alps and practice adventure sports, the South Island is your place. Unlike the North Island, which is dotted with cities, the South Island often gives visitors a sense of isolation. Just over 20% of New Zealand's population lives on the South Island, which is dotted with national parks and abundant natural scenery. It is the perfect destination for adventure seekers.

The main cities on the South Island are Christchurch and Queenstown. Both are gateways for those who board a plane from the North Island. Those who choose the ferry route between the two islands will have as their port of arrival the city of Picton — in the Marlborough region — at the southern end of the South Island. Christchurch is the largest city on the South Island and a good base for renting a car, motorhome and campervan to start your road trip. Queenstown, on the other hand, attracts visitors not because of its size (it is even a very small city), but because of the wide range of attractions and adventure sports, such as bungee jumping, paragliding, rafting and parachuting. To top it off, Queenstown still offers a beautiful lake for walks and is a charming city. Visiting urban centers will be very rare on the South Island and the best thing is to get used to the small villages that serve as the base for most of the attractions and national parks that permeate the region.

To start traveling around the South Island, you need to know that the roads are always beautiful and challenging (there is a climb), which makes the trip much slower compared to the North Island. Stops for photos and observing the landscape are common during the route. Get used to delays and always calculate plenty of time so you don't miss the time of any tour or arrive too late for a trail.

Most of the South Island's attractions are linked to national parks and have free admission, which makes traveling around the South Island very affordable. For the must-see sights, start with Fox Glacier and Franz Josef Glacier, both in Westland Tai Poutini National Park. Heading north, very close to the glaciers, it is worth visiting Paparoa National Park and the Pancake Rocks of Punakaiki, rock formations shaped by the action of the wind and the sea and which have gained incredible pancake shapes. A beauty to behold and easy to visit. If the itinerary has days to spare, be sure to head towards the north end of the South Island, where the beautiful beaches of the Abel Tasman National Park are located.

Heading south along the West Coast, visit Aoraki Mount Cook National Park, home to New Zealand's highest mountain: Mount Cook. The park is full of beautiful trails on the edge of the mountains that form the Southern Alps and, on top of that, it also has the Tasman Glacier and the intense blue of Lake Pukaki to give even more beauty to the landscape. Adjacent to Mount Cook, Mount Aspiring National Park shares the same mountain range and offers one of the most popular trails in the country: the Routeburn Track. In addition to the trail (which takes up to four days to complete), those who visit Mount Aspiring can also enjoy the Blue Pools, where the blue tone of the water attracts tourists looking for beautiful landscapes and a very easy trail to walk. .

Going down beyond Mount Cook and Mount Aspiring, the highlight of the West Coast is Fiordland National Park, home to the famous New Zealand fjords, including Milford Sound (the most popular among tourists) and Doubtful Sound. Both can be visited on boat cruises, but only Milford Sound is accessible by car. Fiordland National Park also stands out for the Milford Track and Kepler Track, two of the most beautiful trails in the country, which allow you to see the immensity of the fjords from very different angles from boat trips.

Traveling around New Zealand means constantly changing base cities. A tourist rarely goes to the country to explore just one place, so the choice of accommodation is not limited to just one hotel that serves the entire itinerary. The most common is to choose several hotels or campsites during the trip. It is even worth a different accommodation each day, which is not uncommon there, especially for those traveling by motorhome or campervan. Often, accommodation goes beyond simply a place to sleep and becomes part of the New Zealand travel experience. And we can say, without a doubt, that it is a wonderful experience!

New Zealand offers good accommodation options in all tourist regions of the country and it will not be difficult to find a good place to spend the night. Among New Zealanders, the most common way to stay, especially in regions where there are no large cities, is in the country's campsites. And they are very different and much better than what we are used to in Brazil. Large hotels are more common in larger cities such as Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown. In more isolated regions and small towns, especially in National Parks, smaller hotels are on offer.
