Rano Raraku

Rano Raraku is the legendary Rapa Nui volcano that served as the quarry where almost all the island’s moai were carved.

Ahu Te Pito Kura

Te Pito Kura is a place full of mysticism in Rapa Nui, famous for hosting a huge round stone known as "the navel of the world". According to legend, this stone was brought by the first king of the island, Hotu Matu’a.
Anakena Beach

  • Admission ticket included
nakena is Rapa Nui’s most famous beach, a paradise of white sands and turquoise waters that contrasts with the ancestral history that surrounds it. This was the place where, according to legend, Hotu Matu’a, the first king of the island, landed, making Anakena a sacred and history-filled site.

Rano Kau
  • 20m

Ana Te Pahu
  • 40m

na Te Pahu is a fascinating cave in Rapa Nui, formed by ancient lava tubes that once carried magma across the island. This cave was used as a refuge and growing space by the ancient inhabitants, thanks to its constant humidity.
