Tahai

Exploration Path

We leave the hotel and ride our bikes uphill to Ahu Akivi, the platform with seven moai facing the ocean. We continue up to the Te Peu archaeological site, where we visit an ancient Rapa Nui village with several archaeological remains. We finally reach Tahai, one of the major towns in the west coast.

From water came lava and from lava came land. Tales to be told only by the elements themselves. The surrounding landscape is overall irregular and interrupted by vestiges of volcanic activity, which also characterize the zone’s memorable skyline.
