Thanks to Peter Jackson, New Zealand is now known worldwide as the ‘Real Middle Earth’. But the meaning behind this world goes far beyond ‘the place where ‘The Lord Of the Rings’ was filmed’. The landscapes of this country are so diverse, unique and absolutely out of this world that sometimes it’s difficult to believe your eyes.

As you guys know, besides writing about our travels in blog, we also write quite a lot of travel articles for different New Zealand and worldwide magazines. In 2018, our texts and photos were published in six New Zealand magazines and two websites from another countries. All together it was about 30 articles!

This beautiful, remote and desolated route boasts incredible views, historical artefacts, colourful birds and friendly animals and is overall an amazing adventure for any nature lover.

There is something incredibly thrilling in watching gallons of water showering from the height. It’s an empowering and mesmerising show, the best demonstration of nature’s powers and thank God, there is no shortage in waterfalls in New Zealand.
