Te Manga is the highest mountain on Rarotonga and Cook Islands.

Rarotonga is a very popular tourist destination with many resorts, hotels and motels.

The chief town, Avarua, on the north coast, is the capital of the Cook Islands.

It is 32 km (20 miles) in circumference and has an area of 67.19 km 2 (26 square miles).

Te Manga, at 658 m (2,140 ft) above sea level, is the highest peak on the island.

The reef fronts the shore to the north of the island, making the lagoon there unsuitable for swimming and water sports, but to the south east, particularly around Muri, the lagoon is at its widest and deepest.

Agricultural terraces, flats and swamps surround the central mountain area.

Paved and unpaved roads allow access to valleys but the interior of the island remains largely unpopulated due to forbidding terrain and lack of infrastructure.

Other threatened birds resident in the conservation area include the Rarotonga fruit dove and Rarotonga starling, and the site has been recognised as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International.

An early ariki, Toi, is said to have built Te Ara Nui o Toi or Ara Metua, a paved road that encircles the island, though the sites adjacent to it are dated to 1530.

Likewise, the ultimate origin of almost 30 of their crops lies in the west.

The first recorded landing by a European was Captain Philip Goodenough with William Wentworth in 1814 on the schooner Cumberland.

On 25 July 1823, while transporting the missionary Reverend John Williams, the Endeavour returned to Rarotonga.

Papeiha, a London Missionary Society evangelist from Bora Bora, went ashore to teach his religion.

Further missionaries followed, and by 1830 the island had converted to Christianity.

The missionaries attempted to exclude other Europeans as a bad influence, and in 1845 Rarotongan ariki prohibited the sale of land to Europeans, though they were allowed to rent land on an annual basis.

Despite a further ban on foreign settlement in 1848, European traders began to settle.
