Ahu Vaihu y Ahu Akahanga

We begin by exploring ceremonial platforms facing the ocean, where toppled moai reveal the mystery of ancient tribal wars.

Rano Raraku – The Moai Quarry

We visit the most striking place on the island: the Rano Raraku volcano, where almost all the moai were sculpted. We'll walk among dozens of statues in different stages of construction, some still embedded in the stone.

Ahu Tongariki

The most majestic of all the ahus: fifteen restored moai standing in a row facing the island's interior. A sacred and imposing place, ideal for memorable photographs.

Ahu Te Pito Kura

You'll see the largest moai ever transported and erected on a platform, next to the mysterious "navel of the world" stone, considered a source of spiritual energy.

Anakena Beach

We end the day on this heavenly white-sand beach, where the moai of Ahu Nau Nau stand. Here you can enjoy a well-deserved rest and, weather permitting, take a dip in the crystal-clear waters.
