Walking Moai

Exploration Path

We start at the foothill of Pui Mountain, where men used to compete sliding on banana tree barks. We continue over ancient moai transportation routes until we reach the Rano Raraku quarry. We visit the place and then walk through Ara O Te Moai, another moai trail, until we reach a group of abandoned moai.

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.
