Tapu–Coroglen Road

The 28-km-long (17-mile-long), intermittently paved Tapu–Coroglen Road turns off State Highway 25 in the hamlet of Tapu to wind into the mountains. It's a breathtaking route where massive tree ferns blanket the roadside hills. Take it slowly: stretches of the road are quite narrow with access for only one vehicle. Signs indicate these places.
