With A Wrinkle In Time’s recent release, we had a look into where the soon-to-be iconic film was filmed. Turns out, it was in some of the destinations we offer! What more of an excuse do you need to jet off to America or New Zealand than to say you’ve walked in the footsteps of the all-star cast (including Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine)?

A brief synopsis of the film:

Here are just some of the places where the film was shot.
 

 

Adjacent to mighty Yosemite National Park, but no less majestic, the twin parks of Sequoia and Kings Canyon are a study in superlatives: Nature is at its deepest, tallest, strongest and widest here. Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the continental U.S., is found in Sequoia. You’ll need a couple of days minimum to take in the splendour… and you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find half as many visitors as at Yosemite.

Located in the stunning alps of the South Island in New Zealand, visitors from around the world are drawn to the Wanaka region by its outstanding natural beauty. Wanaka’s lakes and mountains and proximity to Mt Aspiring National Park, makes it the ultimate base for outdoor activities.

 

But it’s not just the outdoor enthusiasts who have plenty to do, stroll the streets and be inspired by galleries, stylish shops and be spoilt for choice with a great selection of cool cafés and restaurants.

A place of intense beauty and mountainous extremes, Lake Hawea is the outdoor adventurers’ paradise. An easy, scenic 15 minute drive from Wanaka and on the road to Makarora and the West Coast, is Lake Hawea. A place of vivid beauty, mountainous extremes and legendary fishing spots. Lake Hawea is an outdoor adventurers’ paradise and a great place to boat, swim, kite surf, kayak, ride, walk or just laze about on the beach.

Lake Pukaki is a shimmering blue jewel set into a grand alpine playground - an iconic New Zealand landscape of high mountain peaks, glacier fed alpine lakes and golden tussocks stretched beneath an endless sky. Sir Peter Jackson chose this part of the Southern Alps - the main divide stretching north-south the length of New Zealand's South Island - as the setting for ‘Lake-town’ in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, so it comes as no surprise that it was the perfect setting for A Wrinkle in Time too!

Mt Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand, helped Sir Edmund Hillary to develop his climbing skills in preparation for the conquest of Everest. It’s home to the highest mountains and the longest glaciers. It is alpine in the purest sense - with skyscraping peaks, glaciers and permanent snow fields, all set under a star-studded sky.
