Pui

Exploration Path

We begin hiking at the foothill of Pui Hill, known by an ancient competition in which Rapa Nui men slid on banana tree barks. We continue through plains and former moai transportation routes, going by archaeological sites until reaching Rano Raraku, the moai quarry.

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.
