Te Waikoropupu Springs ('Pupu Springs')

The Te Waikoropupu Springs ('Pupu Springs') is our second sightseeing stop after Salmon Farm. Pupu Spring, just a few minutes drive from the Salmon Farm that located at the centre of Takaka and Collingwood, Golden Bay Region on New Zealand's South Island. Simply called Pupu Springs, the springs are known for the clarity of the water and the volume of water discharged. To Maori people, the Pupu Springs is a  treasure and a place held in high cultural and spiritual regard.


Reputedly the world's clearest freshwater springs and the only place where there is known to be water of greater clarity is under the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica. 


The freshwater springs have an enormous energy, as you can see the incredibly pure spring water gurgling among the pure and natural-looking landscape. The freshwater springs is indeed remarkably crystal clear, I can see myself in the water.


As you can see the tranquil part of the pool, showing a spectacular variety of aquatic weeds to enact an underwater wonderland. Here you will be able to take million photos as what we did in a place of purity and beauty.



Here's the viewing platform, from here the pool looks deceptively shallow, but is not. Because it discharge an average of 14,000 liters of water a second, is the largest freshwater springs in New Zealand. 


Not forgotten, group photo for every single place that we have visited, as usual. Asian style, peace!
