Makatote Viaduct

The Makatote Viaduct, while not the longest railway viaduct in the world, boasts remarkable dimensions that capture the imagination.

This engineering marvel was constructed over the years from 1905 to 1908, showcasing the ingenuity of its time. Today, it proudly stands as the third tallest viaduct in New Zealand, offering stunning views and a striking silhouette against the picturesque landscape.
