Ahu Vaihu
In Vaihu, a replica of the ancient villages where our ancestors lived was made, in order to know what their daily life was like and the various structures that made it up, such as chicken coops, stone gardens, boat houses, among others.

Ahu Akahanga
Oral history, which is the main source of history on the island, tells that the remains of the first king of Rapa Nui, Hotu Matu'a, lie there, who are missing. You can also see an original village with its structures and platforms, with moai in front of it.
45 minutes

Rano Raraku
The largest ceremonial center in the Pacific, which had to be restored after one of the most immense catastrophes recorded, a tsunami caused by the Valdivia earthquake. The entire restoration was possible thanks to the great contribution of Tadano and Sano, of Japanese origin. This place is better known as the platform of the 15 moai.

Anakena Beach
Anakena, originally named Hanga Rau o Te Ariki, meaning 'king's landing bay', was the intended location for the people, led by King Hotu Matu'a, to colonize the island. Over time, this area became an exclusive space for royalty. Anakena has a white sand beach unique in the world, crystal clear waters and is located between palm trees and Moais.
