New Zealand is a very diverse country with many regions worth visiting. It is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. It is a land of stunning and diverse natural beauty - high mountains, rolling pastures lands, steep fjords, picturesque lakes and rivers, as well as active volcanic areas. These islands form a unique bioregion inhabited by flightless birds that do not live anywhere else - kakapo and kiwi. New Zealanders have accepted kiwi as a national symbol. Indigenous Maori culture plays an important role in the daily life and identity of the nation.
