This time I will introduce to you some hiking / walking spots in the South Island of New Zealand.
If you like adventures, you can go on one of the many Great Walks through forests, parks, hills or mountains. There are short walks around 40 minutes or long hikes that can take from 2-5 days! There are all sorts of beautiful hiking trails for people of any level!
The first picture on this blog post is a picture from the top of the Rapaki Track on the Port Hills which is one of the most popular walks in Christchurch city. You can walk, run or mountain bike up this short 45-minute trail. From the top of this track, you can see the neighbouring town of Lyttleton.
The second picture is of another walking track near Christchurch called the “Big Tree Walk”. This walk goes through a native forest (a forest made of trees only found in New Zealand) where you can see gigantic Totara trees, this one is almost three meters across, and is thought to be about 1,000 years old.
