New Zealand

New Zealand is a green-and-golden land spread between snowy mountain peaks and with a winding coastline of island-studded bays and harbors. Waterfalls cascading through mossy gorges, bubbling geothermal areas, active volcanoes, magnificent stretches of sandy beach and cool fjords are amongst the highlights that attract travelers to the other land 'down under'. This entertaining book provides an excellent overview of New Zealand's Maori culture, geological wonders, national parks and cities in addition to a step-by-step tour of the country.
