Lake Tekapo

In the South Island of New Zealand, Lake Tekapo is the second-largest of three roughly parallel lakes that run north-south along the northern edge of the Mackenzie Basin (the others are Lake Pukaki and Lake Ohau). It is located at a height of 710 meters above sea level and has an area of 83 square kilometers. Lake Tekapo is one of the most beautiful lakes in New Zealand.

One of three parallel lakes running from north to south in the Mackenzie Basin on the South Island is Lake Tekapo. The Godley River, which originates in the Southern Alps, feeds the lake from the north, providing the high-altitude lake with cool, clear water all year round.

One of the most well-liked tourist locations in the nation, it features a few resorts in adjacent towns and a regional park that provides guests with a range of recreational opportunities. A popular day travel destination for individuals on a strict schedule is Lake Tekapo, which is situated just over 100 kilometers west of Christchurch.

The spectacular snow-capped mountains that tower in the distance, the rocky and craggy beach, and the purple wildflowers that bloom in the spring are some of its most well-known features.
