You spawn in Windswept Forest at y=82, but it covers only a sliver of the map. Taiga starts about 32 blocks out, with a river around 45 blocks away and snow beyond that. The real draw is an abandoned zombie village about 322 blocks southwest at (-256, 192), set mostly in taiga. Cured villagers are the payoff.
