Skippers Canyon is a unique road in New Zealand thanks to its numerous sections without pavement and its hills. The road was first constructed as the 19th century came to a close more than 140 years ago. It was made to help people reach the mountains in search of gold, and it was hand-carved by miners.
In addition to being unpaved, the road has sharp bends and is very narrow. This combination means that drivers must be highly skilled to navigate it. To give you an idea of how dangerous it is, most car insurance excludes any accidents that happen on this road. Despite this, it still attracts people who want to admire its amazing views.
Is your idea of paradise soft white sand beaches and clear blue waters? Shallow, warm seas lapping at your feet, exotic lagoons, the breeze gently ruffling your hair? You don’t need to leave Europe to find idyllic tropical-style waters.
