Exploration Path
We take a van from the lodge to Maunga Tanga Roa, (the hill with the three crosses) and walk uphill. At the summit, we enjoy a 360° view of the Island. When walking down, we visit the Pukao quarry, red scoria hat-like structures that were formerly placed on top of the moai.
The island’s very existence is testament to a battle fought long ago between fire and sea.
