Itinerary

1. Ahu Nau Nau
Platform on the beach of Hanga Rau o te Ariki (Anakena) where the capital of the old society was located. It has 7 moai on its surface, which are the best preserved restored in the whole island, revealing the greatness of Rapa Nui culture. We will also see Ahu Ature Huki, restored by the Rapa Nui community in the 50s.
Duration: 35 mins
2. Ahu Te Pito Kura
It houses the outstanding Moai Paro, the largest transferred from the Rano Raraku quarry to his ahu successfully. Although lying down almost two centuries ago, this moai is a landmark in the history of statues, with height of 9.9 meters and an estimated weight of more than 80 tons. It was torn down and has not yet been restored. The gigantic pukao of almost 2 meters high and about 10 tons, located in front of the moai, also stands out as one of the bulkiest headdresses coming from Puna Pau. According to navigator accounts, this was one of the last Ahu with his moai erected.
Duration: 25 mins
3. Rano Raraku
Moai factory with 400 examples approx. where it is possible to appreciate the construction technique of these. Many Moai are still embedded in the volcanic rock and others are distributed in the parking area. Virtually all the statues were carved here, and today it has hundreds that were not translated.
Duration: 90 mins

The largest platform (ahu) in Polynesia in which there are 15 upright moai with their backs to the ocean.
Duration: 45 mins

Duration: 30 mins
6. Ahu Vinapu
It is a ceremonial complex that has a unique platform built with large basalt slabs, which suggests a possible connection with the Inca empire. It includes two ceremonial platforms, Ahu Tahira and Ahu Vinapū. Although some structures were damaged during tribal conflicts in the 18th century, the site preserves ruins of a third, older ahu.

7. Puna Pau

Adding to its historical significance, Tahai houses the tomb of William Mulloy, an American archaeologist who made important contributions at Rapa Nui.
