The breathtaking blue of Lake Pukaki that makes me want to cry.

Lake Pukaki, located in the central South Island of New Zealand, is a must-visit spot on the way to Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. It is also the most stunning lake I have ever seen in New Zealand. The lake's water boasts a cosmic, romantic milky blue—a shade of blue so incredible it feels almost unreal. Lake Pukaki resembles a giant mirror, reflecting the distant, sprawling Southern Alps. The snow-capped peaks of Mount Cook and the lake's waters create a fairy-tale-like scenery that will leave an unforgettable impression.
