The Taupō region is traditionally associated with the Ngāti Tūwharetoa iwi tribe, which is part of the larger Te Arawa confederation. The area has been inhabited by them for centuries.
Full of broadleaf forests and alpine tussock grass, this area is also home to waterfowl and deer — but it is best known for its trout fishing.
