Tongariki

Exploration Path

We take a van to Ahu One Makihi with its huge tumbled moai. We continue to Tongariki to learn the history of Rapa Nui’s largest Ahu and we explore its surroundings, after which we understand the division between east and west in Rapa Nui.

Carved from the volcanic slopes of the Rano Raraku, the moai are as much a part of Rapa Nui as the soil itself on which it stands.
