Buried Village of Te Wairoa

The Buried Village of Te Wairoa is identifiable by the excavated stone and timber remains of a nineteenth-century settlement set into a verdant landscape, where ruins are connected by walking paths near a stream. Founded in eighteen forty-eight by the Reverend Seymour Mills Spencer, this was once a hub for travelers seeking the famed Pink and White Terraces, then considered a natural wonder of the world.
