    El parque nacional Abel Tasman es uno de los lugares más bellos de la tierra, con una costa de rocas tapizada de bosques entre los que aparecen aquí y allá playas de arena clara, bañadas por agua de variadas tonalidades....

    Preciosas vistas,cabe la interrupción para baños en aguas limpias, cabe ensoñación a lo Robinson Crusoe

    Out and back from The Glen to Cable Bay. If you don't like steep downhills, it will be easier to do the Lookout Loop on the way out and the longer but easier loop on your return.
