I will introduce the history of Tongariro National Park.In 1894, it was designated as the first national park in New Zealand. In 1990, it was inscribed as a natural heritage site and in a1993 also as a cultural heritage site.
The park designated by suggestion of the Maoris. Do you know the Maoris? They are the original inhabitants of New Zealand. This national park is the holy place for the Maoris, so it has strong ties with the culture of the Maoris, which was rated high.
There are three active volcanos in the park-Mt.Ruapehu, Mt.Ngauruhoe and Mt.Tongariro. This mountain area is one of the Maoris' objective places of worship. Near these mountains, there are a lot of hiking course and they are very popular now.
