One of the great tourist attractions to see at Orakei Korako near Taupo, New Zealand is the Ruatapu Cave/Aladdin's Cave. The people at the base of the cave stand along the edge of the pool, a magical place known to make wishes come true when your left hand is placed in the water.
The pool was used by Maori people for washing as the warmth of the water made cleansing more enjoyable than using the colder waters of streams, lakes or rivers.
The Ruatapu Cave/Aladdin's Cave is 120 feet down where tourists can walk through the cave and explore the underground world of this geothermal area.
Ruatapu Cave meaning Sacred Cave is also known as Aladdin's Cave and Waiwhakaata (the pool) which means Pool of Mirrors at Orakei Korako, near Taupo, North Island, New Zealand.
