Tongariro Crossing
Wow…what a great day!!! Wake up t 7 a.m. Breakfast and at 8 a.m. we took the bus shuttle for Tongariro Crossing. 30 NZ$ Return.
It took about 20 minutes to get the entrance. At 8.30 a.m. we started our hike. We, yes, cause Ben, a nice guy from Auckland decided to join me for this hike. …and he is a good hiker too.
The beginning of the landscape looks like Etna Volcano but then it changes. It’s a very beautiful hike.
Most of the people go straight to the end but we also took one side hike to the summit. Without this extra hike it takes about 5 hours considering the multi photos time but anywhere we were much more fit then the average.
If you are not very good consider between 6 and 7 hours. With the extra hike to the summit it took 6 hours 30 minutes – 23.4 Km and 1060 mt ascent
We met a lot of nice people from all over the world during our hike. This was really nice :o)
The volcanic lakes are wonderful
The color of the water is awsome
Something that you'll never forget
Pity we couldn't swim
I loved it
The trek was hard because it was very hot and dry and I didn't take enough water
Make sure to bring at least 3 liters of water if the day is sunny !!
