We will start this
experience at the meeting point at 3:00 PM.
To begin our journey, we travel to Ahu Akivi, one of the few ceremonial platforms where the moai appear to face the sea.
Ahu Akivi is a set of ceremonial platforms guarded by seven moai that face the sea. This is also one of the few style="font-weight:bold"> Ahu where the moai have restored eyes.
We will learn, along with our expert local guide, about how these impressive statues were carved, transported, and erected, and what significance they held for ancient Rapa Nui society. They will also tell us a little about the enigmatic collapse of the Rapa Nui civilization and how it influenced the island`s current culture.
We will also discover the myths behind the creation of these statues and how they are intertwined with the island`s worldview and beliefs.
In addition to the Ahu, we will visit Puna Pau, a small crater of red volcanic rock in which They made the Pukao, a type of stone cylinder that can be found on several of the island`s moai as a kind of hat.
Finally, we will continue to the caverns of Ana Te Pahu, a complex of caves and galleries located on the slopes of the Maunga Terevaka volcano, which is now inactive and where we can find vestiges of the ancient inhabitants.
After exploring the area and having an afternoon full of history and culture, we will be returning to our meeting point at approximately 5:30 PM.
We will definitely return full of new memories. We look forward to seeing you!
