Day 1 Ahu Vaiha - Rano Raraku - Anakena, Early this morning we will start our tour of the island by driving along the southern coast. Next you head to the volcanic crater of Rano Raraku.
Day 2 Orongo - Ahu Vinapu - Ana Kai Tangata Cave, drive to Rano Kau volcano, the biggest on the island, whose enormous crater is now a fresh water lake with floating green fields of totora reeds. This site offers an exceptional view of three tiny and craggy off-shore islands: Nui, Motu and Kao-Kao. Perched 400 meters above the lake on the crater wall is the ceremonial village of Orongo, where the bizarre "bird man" ritual took place. The partially restored village has 48 oval buildings built out of overlapping stone slabs. Over the cliffs you can see an amazing string of "bird man" petroglyphs.
Day 3 Ahu Akivi, at the ceremonial center of Ahu Akivi there are seven standing Moais who unlike most others, look out at the sea. It is said they represent the sons of a Maori sorcerer sent to search for Rapa Nui. |
