As visitors walk along its paths surrounded by vegetation and natural formations, guides will reveal the secrets of how these giant figures were carved and transported. The atmosphere here is unique: every moai seems to tell a story frozen in time.

An essential place to understand the art, engineering, and spirituality of the Rapa Nui people.

• Anakena Beach - Anakena is the most renowned beach in Rapa Nui and one of the island’s most special locations. White coral sand, turquoise waters, and palm trees welcome visitors to this paradise setting where, according to legend, Hotu Matu’a, the first ariki (king) of Rapa Nui, landed.

Then, visitors will explore Orongo, the ancient ceremonial village of the Birdman (Tangata Manu), built with perfectly assembled stone houses and petroglyphs that narrate ancient rituals. From there, visitors can see the islands Motu Nui, Motu Iti, and Kao Kao, key players in the island’s most important spiritual challenge.
