Titiraupenga (also known as Mount Titiraupenga) is an extinct 1,042 metres (3,419 ft)[1] high basaltic andesite stratovolcano[2] on whose southern slopes is located the geographical centre of the North Island of New Zealand. It is in the Pureora Forest Park between Lake Taupō and Te Kūiti on the North Island Volcanic Plateau in New Zealand. The area of the mountain is in a scenic reserve that is "recognised as one of the finest rain forests in the world".[3]
