Buried Village incorporating the Museum of Te Wairoa

The Buried Village of Te Wairoa is one of New Zealand's most-visited archaeological attractions, located near Rotorua. Buried by the catastrophic 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera, the site preserves the remains of a once-thriving Māori and European settlement, and includes a museum with artefacts from the eruption, restored excavated sites, and the picturesque Te Wairoa Falls walking trail.
