Te Whakarewarewa, Rotorua

Whakarewarewa Thermal Village, Rotorua
It's a Maori village, a cross between an open air museum, a geothermal field and an ordinary village. Among the attractions are Maori cultural performances, naturally steamed Hanga meals, the Pohutu and the Prince of Wales Feathers geysirs, traditional architecture, boiling lakes and mud pools, and, of course, shopping.

Whakarewarewa thermal... (Rotorua)
It's fascinating to watch the ground bubble, and see mud beeing thrown up from the earth. Geysirs blowing boiling-water fountain into the air. It´s just an amazing colorful place. But you better take a strong deodorant with you as everything will smell of solfur

This was on the walk down to one of the boiling pits---a very pretty scene, reserved and sacred.

All visitors should go here and be entertained, enlightened, educated, whatever.

Its a great place to visit and so interesting

Walking around you will see small pockets of plopping mud. Rotorua has cashed in on the mineral content of the mud and produced face masks, soaps and other products from the mud.

The area is a volcanic landscape.
You can see geyser and geothermal area

How do you pronounce this? Well, if you know, you are probably local. This is home of the largest geyser-pohutu. It contains numerous boiling mud pools and hot springs.

This is a picture of the holly house. If you go in, shoes must be removed and you have to be very silent.
