Day 3

Rano Raraku, Anakena

This morning, travel southeast to the extinct volcano of Poike, and marvel at the coastline of black volcanic rock. Take a drive to Vaihu where you’ll learn how locals honour death through celebration. Here, absorb the beauty of a Paina (a ceremonial stone circle) and eight fallen Moais. Afterwards, set out to the volcanic crater of Ranu Raraku. Located on the lower slopes of Terevaka, this quarry supplied the stone for about 95 percent of the island’s sculptures. Incomplete statues surround the area and are remarkable for their numbers, inaccessibility and size. Touring continues as you travel to Ahu Tongarik, home to the largest ahu on the island and the white coral sand beach of Anakena.
