- Ahu Akivi - The Ahu Akivi on Easter Island consists of 7 moai statues facing the Pacific Ocean, symbolizing the 7 explorers dispatched by King Hotu to Matua prior to his colonization journey.
Research indicates that the Ahu Akivi were constructed between 1442 and 1600, with restoration efforts taking place between 1960 and 1961. The site measures 90 meters in length and features a 38-meter central platform.
A remarkable feature of these moai is their alignment with the points where the sun rises during the autumn and spring equinoxes. On September 22 and March 20 each year, day and night are of equal length. This alignment was invaluable to the farmers of Easter Island, as it signaled climate changes, allowing them to prepare the land for successful crop cultivation.
- Ana Te Pahu - Ana Te Pahu is the largest cave on the island, stretching over 7 kilometers, and offers an incredible experience for those wishing to explore the natural beauty of Easter Island.
- Puna Pau - Puna Pau is a small extinct volcano where the pukao, the red headdresses that adorned the statues on Easter Island, were quarried and sculpted. It is the greenest area on the island, offering a stunning 360° view. Visitors should be cautious of the strong winds at the summit.
