Description
A comprehensive guide to New Zealand's longest trail, Te Araroa, this book maps the 3000-kilometre route in 40-kilometre sections, providing a detailed overview of the trail's history, landscape, and features.
Author Geoff Chapple, who led the development of the trail, complements the maps with a commentary on the natural environment, flora, and fauna encountered along the way, as well as notable landmarks and special features.
With stunning 2-page 3D maps and photographs of the trail, this guide is ideal for both those planning to walk the entire trail and those who want to explore specific sections. The book also provides an introduction to the variety of New Zealand's landscape, from forest and farmland to volcanoes and urban areas.
