2nd.
Day: HANGA ROA / ANA KENA
/ HANGA ROA
Breakfast at the hotel. A full
day tour, along the Moai route, visiting:
Vaihu, a place which is surrounded by
enormous statues which have fallen face
down; the ruins of Akahanga, which are
in their natural condition and where
the first king of the island was buried.
Further along, we will see the Rano
Raraku volcano, situated close to the
southern shore of the island, and at
the base of Poike, which is the most
spectacular crater in the zone and where
the former island-people carved the
giant statues from the volcano's quarry.
Here we can see the different stages
in the construction of the Moais, the
biggest of which still remains at the
base of the quarry and which is more
than 20m long and weighs just under
200 tons. We will the visit the restored
Ahu Tongariki, the biggest on the Island
with 15 Moais (Statues), which had been
destroyed by a tidal wave in 1960. We
then visit Te Pito Kura, an ancient
settlement with a mystical circular
stone before carrying on to Anakena
beach. Free time to enjoy the warm sea
waters which surround the island. In
the afternoon, return to the hotel.
