A thirteen-hundred-kilometer journey through New Zealand’s wild mountains and rivers

About Te Araroa (Maori name – The Long Pathway in English)
is New Zealand’s long distance tramping route, stretching circa 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) along the length of the country’s two main islands from Cape Reinga to Bluff. Officially opened in 2011, it is made up of a mixture of previously made tracks and walkways, new tracks, and link sections alongside roads. Tramping the full length of the trail generally takes three to six months.
I am going to hike the South Island part of the Trail, which is roughly 1300 km
