🎧 Listen to Introduction

In 1993, Tongariro became the first site to be inscribed on the World Heritage List under the revised criteria for cultural landscapes. The mountains at the heart of the park are of cultural and religious significance to the Maori people, symbolising the spiritual connection between the community and its environment. The park contains active and extinct volcanoes, diverse ecosystems and some spectacular landscapes.
