The Siloli Desert is a wonderfully dramatic landscape. It seemed almost surreal to walk through its vast planes and occasionally encounter a completely new and colourful scenery. One of my favourite spots was the Sol de la Mañana Geyser, which is a magical sight from both the land and the air.
Here are some of my photos, featuring the Salvador Dalí Desert, the geyser, and the Montaña de Siete Colores (seven-coloured mountain).
I did not expect much from Hot Water Beach, one of the destinations on our Coromandel trip, which made it all the better when the photos I took surpassed my expectations. These were taken on a beautiful morning, just after sunrise at the Te Pare Reserve.
The contrast between the clear green waters and orange sand dotted with geothermal pools is a truly unique sight. Here are some of my favourite images of this location.
Rotorua is a magical place. During our time there we visited several geothermal activity areas.
The most famous of them was the Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland, which is considered one of the most surreal places in the world. One of its highlights is the Champagne Pool (pictured on the right).
We also visited Te Puia, which is a collection of several active geysers, and the Waimangu Volcanic Rift Valley, a 2-hour downhill walk (longer if you'd like to stop along the way for photos!) through stunning landscapes to a lake at the bottom of the hill.
Here are a few of my favourite images of the geothermal wonders of Rotorua. Enjoy!
