Putangirua Pinnacles Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Putangirua is located in Lower Hutt, Wellington, and is made up of sedimentary rock washed out by heavy rains over the past 120,000 years. The mountain peaks are magnificent and towering like clouds, and it was once one of the filming locations of the movie "The Lord of the Rings". There are three walks to the summit of Putangirua, and Cape Palliser is a great place to see the mountain. You can choose to view Putangirua from a distance as a whole, feel its majesty, and experience its charm up close.

Good hike to combine with a trip to Cape Palliser lighthouse. About a 1.5 hour return trip from the car park to the Pinnacles. Amazing rock formations; you can see why it was selected for a LOTR filmi...
