The Lake Pukaki Visitor Centre is located in the centre of the spectacular Mackenzie Basin at the Mount Cook Lookout on the Shores of Lake Pukaki. The Centre is on the main highway approximately half way between Queenstown and Christchurch. When you're driving past make sure you stop in for information about the region, to take a photo of Aoraki Mount Cook at the Mount Cook Lookout and for small gifts and mementoes.
Mt Cook and Mackenzie Country is the high inland basin beneath the Southern Alps and Aoraki Mt Cook, southwest of Christchurch. Mt Cook, New Zealand's highest mountain, towers above the splendid cast of massive snow-clad peaks of the Mt Cook National Park. Nudging its side is Tasman Glacier, a 30km giant. Mackenzie Country is graced with turquoise glacial lakes, vast open spaces and golden, tussock-covered hills rolling towards the towering Southern Alps.
