Rainbow Mountain Scenic Reserve is a unique geological wonder located in Rotorua, New Zealand. This mount with its own Maori name Maungakakaramea, meaning ‘mountain of coloured earth’, stands out due to its colourful rock layers. It offers unique walking tracks up the summit and down two volcanic craters, rewarding visitors with magnificent views from the top. While walking through the steaming geo thermal area, be sure to observe some of the rare plants that only grow in this environment. Lake Ngahewa near the entrance is home to many species of birds, adding to its picturesque atmosphere. Don't miss out on this beautiful yet geologically rich experience at Rainbow Mountain Scenic Reserve!
