Description
Experience a full day exploring Easter Island’s most iconic treasures while diving into its rich history and ancestral culture.
Start at Ahu Tongariki, the island’s largest moai complex. These 15 majestic statues are not only impressive in size but also represent the ancestors who protected and guided the communities, a powerful testimony to the Rapa Nui people’s respect for lineage and tradition.
Continue to Ranu Raraku, the volcanic quarry where most moai were sculpted. Here, you can observe moai in various stages of construction and learn about the technical mastery and spiritual significance of these sculptures, which symbolized power and ancestral connection.
The journey concludes at Anakena Beach, one of the few white sand beaches on the island. This site is not only a natural paradise but also historically significant as one of the first Polynesian settlements on Rapa Nui. Relax, enjoy the scenery, and feel the harmony between nature and history.
