Charmed by the Beauty of Lake Tekapo in Canterbury

#mytraveldiary Lake Tekapo in Canterbury is a destination that feels like it belongs in a dream. The lake is famous for its striking turquoise waters, which are created by glacial flour reflecting the sunlight. The view is even more enchanting with the surrounding mountains rising in the distance. One of the highlights is the Church of the Good Shepherd, a small stone church on the lakeside that adds a touch of charm and history to the setting. If you visit in spring, the colorful lupins blooming along the shoreline make the scenery even more magical. Lake Tekapo is also part of a Dark Sky Reserve, making it an incredible spot for stargazing at night. It is a peaceful and unforgettable place that truly captures New Zealand’s natural beauty.
