Itinerary

1. Ana Te Pahu
Venture into one of Easter Island’s longest and most spacious caves — a 200-meter lava tube with visible traces of its ancient inhabitants. We'll enter from one end, walk through the tunnel, and exit on the other side, experiencing how nature and history intertwine underground.
Duration: 20 mins
2. Ahu Te Peu
Explore one of Easter Island’s most complete ancient villages, featuring the island’s largest hare paenga (the houses of the ancient inhabitants) and traditional structures like manavai plantation gardens and chicken houses. The ceremonial ahu platform here stands out for its craftsmanship — its stone blocks were cut to fit together more precisely than at most other sites. Multiple moai statues lie toppled around the site, which remain unrestored, offering a raw, authentic glimpse into Rapa Nui’s past.
Duration: 30 mins
3. Ana Te Pora
Step into Ana Te Pora, a medium-sized lava tube tucked near the cliffs of Easter Island’s northwest coast. Its vaulted chamber has smooth walls and a narrow, stone-reinforced entrance designed for protection. Inside, a unique rectangular stone structure—resembling a bed or worktable—hints at the cave’s possible domestic or ceremonial use. We’ll pass through the cave and exit through a natural hole on the other side.
Duration: 20 mins
4. Ana Kakenga
Known as the "Cave of Two Windows," Ana Kakenga is a dramatic lava tube perched on the cliffs of Easter Island’s northwest coast. The entrance is a narrow, vertical hole in the ground — modified by the island’s ancient inhabitants with stone walls to make access easier and protect against the wind. Inside, the tunnel opens into a spacious chamber, with two lava-carved corridors leading to natural windows in the cliffside, offering breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean and the offshore islet Motu Tautara.
Duration: 30 mins
