Exploration Path
We start in Ahu Tahira, a construction platform with perfectly overlapping rock structures. We begin hiking to the crater of the Rano Kau Volcano and Orongo. This is the ancient ceremonial village where Birdman competitions used to take place. We head down south by bike and ride along the coast visiting several archaeological sites. We keep on going to Explora.
As one of the volcanoes from which the island originated, Rano Kau’s vigilant gaze defines Rapa Nui’s enigmatic cultural landscape.
