• Ana Te Pahu - Lava channels traverse a significant area, connecting four underground chambers to form Ana Te Pahu, the largest cave in Rapa Nui. Its vast size made it ideal in ancient times; several umu (traditional cooking pits) indicate it was also used for food preparation. Ana Te Pahu is also known as the “cave of the bananas” due to the abundance of banana trees at its entrance.
• Ana Te Pora - A volcanic cave with its main entrance about 100 meters from the parking lot. This cave was used as both a shelter and a ceremonial site in ancient times.
• Ana Kakenga - A volcanic cave where lava flowed into the sea, creating two openings or “windows” that lead directly to the cliff. Also known as the “cave of the two windows,” this cave extends about 50 meters. It served as a “kionga” or place of refuge in ancient times.
• Ahu Te Peu - Ahu Te Peu is an area of high archaeological value. Since it hasn’t been restored, visitors can see the site exactly as the ancient inhabitants left it after internal wars toppled the moais. There used to be a village here, and you can still see the largest boathouse or hare paenga on the island, which is 43 meters long and called Tore Tahuna. According to tradition, it belonged to the famous Ariki Tu’u Ko Ihu.
