8 sites on the program for this day.
1 – HURI A URENGA. Alone, also erected inland. The platform supports a single moai. But not only that… and far from it! The quintessence of Rapa Nui.
2 – RANO KAU. The natural theater of the largest crater on Easter Island, on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, is a panorama that should not be missed under any circumstances.
3 – ORONGO. The ceremonial place, many times restored and shelter of the last ancestral cult before Christianity, today can only be partially visited. Equipped with an interpretation center, it will be the prelude to the end of this day.
4 – ANAKENA. Very nice beach about twenty kilometers from the only town on the island, Hanga Roa. The coconut grove that serves as a setting and the tropical waters that bathe it make it a privileged place for tourists and residents. The restored platform houses the most beautiful Moai found on its altar.
5 – TONGARIKI. The most impressive and notable restored archaeological site on Easter Island. Its 15 standing and aligned Moai attract visitors from all over the world to admire this jewel of Neolithic architecture. With a stunning natural setting, it is a panorama you will not forget.
6 – RANO RARAKU. Walking at the feet of the stone giants, the visitor begins to understand the energy that was necessary for the Moai cult. Almost all the icons of Rapa Nui emerged from the slopes of this volcano, Rano Raraku. There are still a large number of them and this is precisely what continues to intrigue and fascinate.
7 – PUNA PAU. Of inspiration as much as of late occupation, is the visit to the headdress quarry that follows that of the stone giants.
8 – AKIVI. One of the only altars inside. 7 Moai seem to contemplate the sea. Not only…
Departure from your accommodation located in the town of Hanga Roa: we head to the other side of the island, towards Anakena, the magnificent and only authorized natural beach of Rapa Nui.
After having enjoyed this truly paradisiacal setting and glimpsed the main components of this prehistoric architecture (altars, statues), we will head directly to the northeast coast of the island and the amazing site of Tongariki. The largest platform on Easter Island will then reveal some of its secrets to us.
Then it will be the turn of the quarry that gave birth to these stone giants, the Rano Raraku, to also give us its truths and enigmas that are still valid today.
Return to the town to begin the short climb to the volcano at the southern end of the island, Rano Kau, a place full of history and again with stunning panoramic landscapes.
