Maori culture is evident throughout New Zealand but nowhere
is it more visible than in Rotorua situated in the North
Island. Here, you could find distinctive, craft-based Maori
culture in marea (tribal meeting places).
Rotorua was for many centuries a center for the Maori culture.
The hot spring in Rotorua offers an effective method of
cooking and bathing.
There are still active Maori community who provide regular
concerts with dancing and singing, displays of art and craft.
If you are in Rotorua, don't miss the traditional Maori
feast: "The hangi" where your food is steamed underground
on a bed of heated stones.
