Bird cult

Exploration Path

Departure by van to Vinapu to visit its Ahu and its unique construction. Afterwards, we head by van to Rano Kau, the island’s largest crater. We hike around part of the crater where we watch the biodiversity of the wetland within it and continue to the ceremonial town of Orongo, known for the Birdman competition. Subsequently, we visit the Mateveri area with its unique volcanic landscapes and its relationship with Orongo.

As one of the volcanoes from which the island originated, Rano Kau’s vigilant gaze defines Rapa Nui’s enigmatic cultural landscape.
