Discover New Zealand
New Zealand is an island country of two main islands at the bottom of the world. Mountains, fjords, rainforests, geysers, and caves lit by glowworms fill the land. The Lord of the Rings films were made here because of those landscapes. Kiwi birds live here and nowhere else.
The Māori are the Indigenous people, and their language, art, and traditions are treasured. Kia ora is a Māori greeting. Bungee jumping was invented here. Wellington is the capital, Queenstown is known for adventure sports, and Rotorua has geothermal springs.
