Waimango Volcanic Valley

On our way from Rotorua to Taupo we visited this amazing valley, we spent four hours walking around it, I was very glad I had my walking boots. A lot of the track was gravelled and easy to walk but there were some steeper parts. Much of it was through the forest.





In a crater called 'Echo Crater', for obvious reasons, there was a very hot lake.


This stream was also very hot.


The algae and minerals at the edges of the water produced some beautiful colours.


Every now and then we came across steam vents.


Warbrick Terraces was another interesting area.


At the end of the walk there was a lovely lake that was a large bird sanctuary.
