Located in the heart of the South Pacific Ocean populated from the tenth century by the Maoris.
Thanks to Captain Cook, these two islands have been mapped out in detail. To the north the Smoking Island, with a mountain range full of volcanoes and tropical forests, and the south island, also known as the largest Jade Island. On both islands together graze some 60 million sheep, 15 times more than the total number of inhabitants currently around 4.5 million. They are also sometimes called 'Kiwis' and the population is very attached to nature and is therefore a fan of many outdoor activities. We invite you to discover this beautiful country and its inhabitants. A country at the end of the world with a lot of "Magic" to discover.
