Located near the town of Twizel in the New Zealand’s South Island, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park is the inhospitable land of rough rock and ice, with the New Zealand's highest mountain Aoraki / Mount Cook dominating the landscape.
The park has 19 peaks higher than 3,000 meters. The park and the reserve that is part of the park were established in 1887 to protect the area's unique landscape and vegetation. In spite of its alpine characteristics, the area is fairly easily accessible via State Highway 80, starting near the town of Twizel. The road ends at Mount Cook Village, which has a hotel and motels.
