Exploration Path
We take a van from the lodge to Maunga Tanga Roa, (the hill with the three crosses) and walk uphill. At the summit, we enjoy a 360° view of the Island. When walking down, we visit the Pukao quarry, red scoria hat-like structures that were formerly placed on top of the moai.

On this exploration we discover the traces of the Pukao (“hair bun” in Rapa Nui) trail to the Moais. We start in Puna Pao, the Pukao quarry, continue toward the Ahu Huri and on to Urenga, a curious platform because of its style and astronomical alignment. After this visit, we take the van to the south coast to visit Hanga Poukura, the largest unrestored platform or Ahu on the island, and Hanga Te'e with its interpretive center, where we will walk to gain more profound knowledge of the history and landscape of one of Rapa Nui’s less explored areas.
