New Zealand, the land of purity

During this time of year, Auckland transitions into late summer, with cool and dry weather. Voted as the fifth most beautiful city in the world and the fourth most livable city globally, Auckland effortlessly captivates visitors with its serene and pristine atmosphere.

Traveling to New Zealand, the land of purity

This city masterfully blends classical charm with modernity: from ancient European-style wooden houses to meticulously preserved natural reserves, from pristine white-sand beaches to bustling modern city centers…

Auckland is alluring not only for its landscapes but also for the lifestyle of its residents. A multicultural city, where people of European, Asian, Maori, and Pacific Islander descent live harmoniously. Perhaps it's the tranquil atmosphere that somewhat influences the open-mindedness of the locals, and conversely, it's the people who contribute to the peaceful character of this city.

From Auckland, travelers can easily journey to the capital city of Wellington – a culinary paradise. Known as the 'Windy City,' Wellington is renowned for its exquisite dining scene without exorbitant prices. If you happen to wander into Courtenay Place, you'll find yourself 'joyfully lost,' as it's the culinary and cultural hub of Wellington with numerous bars, clubs, theaters, cinemas… Exploring the cuisine here alone can consume a considerable amount of your time: fresh coffee on the spot, uniquely flavored chocolates, fresh ice cream, local cheeses, craft beer, renowned New Zealand manuka honey.

Exploring Wellington is akin to stepping onto renowned movie sets like those of Lord of the Rings, Avatar, King Kong, and The Hobbit. At the Weta workshop, visitors can witness lifelike models and observe the dedicated Weta team at work.

Starting from Auckland, our journey led us to Rotorua – home to the indigenous Maori people. Rotorua's distinctive sulfuric aroma announces its geothermal activity, attracting visitors with its hot springs and mud pools, day or night. The Maori, constituting 30% of the North Island's population, uphold a rich cultural heritage intertwined with natural geothermal resources for cooking, relaxation, and spa treatments using hot mud.

Another essential destination in New Zealand is Waiheke Island, boasting over 30 wineries welcoming visitors for tours. Examples include Stony Vineyard nestled among olive trees and sprawling grapevines, and Wild on Waiheke, offering surprising spaces with vineyards and giant chessboards. Waiheke Island enjoys an exceptional climate for wine production, with its fields and hills covered in various grape and olive varieties. Tasting exquisite wines and sampling premium olive oil, we experienced memorable sensory delights of New Zealand's produce.

On our third visit to New Zealand, the landscape continues to captivate with its sprawling greenery across mountain ranges, accompanied by leisurely grazing sheep basking in the summer sun. This serene scenery remains a piece of heaven on earth, destined to retain its timeless beauty for years to come...
