Hotu Iti

Exploration Path

We take a van to the Papa Vaka archaeological site, which features a large number of petroglyphs. We hike through the area of Hotu Iti, plains among archaeological remains, rock gardens and traditional farming sites. We arrive to Ahu Tongariki, the largest ceremonial platform in the Island. We return by van.

Carved from the volcanic slopes of the Rano Raraku, the moai are as much a part of Rapa Nui as the soil itself on which it stands.
