Te Puia, in Rotarua. This is the recognized center for Maori culture, art and traditions. They also feature awesome geothermal geysers and pools of volcanic mud and hot water. In fact steam can be observed rising out of several cracks or holes in the ground all around the city of Rotarua. All these geothermal attractions are due to activity of the volcanic caldera in which the city is located. Enjoyed a guided tour that showed off the geysers, and also Maori crafts, and a performance of their music and dance, including the famous Haka. Topped off by dinner, savoring Hangi cooking, and a late evening geyser display. #tepuia #maori #maorispirit #rotarua #geothermal #geysers #northisland #newzealand #aleapoffaith #pilgrim #songofthemoment 🎼 Beth Orton 🎶 A Place Aside https://www.instagram.com/p/B1F_XXojGOe/?igshid=7eqgbagub7ig
