    Te Puia is a cultural center and geothermal attraction in Rotorua. It is home to the New Zealand Maori Arts and Crafts Institute, which promotes the traditional Maori arts of weaving, carving, and tattooing. You can watch master carvers and weavers at work and learn about the significance of these crafts to Maori culture.

    In addition to its cultural offerings, Te Puia is also known for its geothermal activity, including geysers, mud pools, and hot springs. One of the most impressive geysers is the Pohutu geyser, which can erupt up to 100 feet high and erupts several times each day.

    The site also includes a kiwi bird enclosure, where you can see the iconic New Zealand bird up close. Te Puia is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in New Zealand's rich Maori culture and unique geothermal landscapes.
