Exploration Path
In this exploration we see the traces of the path of the Pukao (“top knot” in Rapa Nui) towards the moai. We start in Puna Pau, the quarry of the Pukao, we continue by van to the South coast to visit Hanga Poukura, the largest non-restored platform or Ahu on the island and Hanga Te'e with an interpretive center where we walk to learn more about the history and the landscape of a less explored area of Rapa Nui. Return by van.
The island’s very existence is testament to a battle fought long ago between fire and sea.
