- Ahu Te Peu - Ahu Te Peu is a site of significant archaeological importance. As it remains unrestored, visitors can view the area just as the ancient inhabitants left it after internal conflicts led to the toppling of the moais. The site was once a village, featuring the island’s largest boathouse or hare paenga, Tore Tahuna, which is 43 meters long and traditionally believed to have belonged to the renowned Ariki Tu’u Ko Ihu. In front of the village are two ahu or ceremonial platforms, the largest of which has a back wall constructed with massive, well-fitted blocks and four fallen moais.
- Easter Island - MA’IRAKI TE MOA: The Ma’ítaki te Moa area features a distinctive “Ahu” ceremonial platform, with a rear wall made of large stones with precise cuts, showcasing the advanced construction skills of the ancient Rapa Nui inhabitants. A unique Moai, crafted from a different material than the 98% of Moai built in the Rano Raraku quarry, is integrated into the same platform, along with other archaeological elements scattered throughout the site.
- Easter Island - VAI MATA: This archaeological complex reveals a settlement with high-level architectural constructions, evident in the design of its “Ahu” platform, which features more precise stone cuts. Nearby, visitors can see Moai that fell during their transport, old Hare Vaka constructions, or houseboats, which were typical Rapa Nui dwellings of the era, along with other characteristic archaeological features of an ancient village. A notable point of interest is a house called Ana or Haro, a man-made cave used as a home, lined with rectangular blocks from reused boathouse bases, making its design unique on the island.
- Easter Island - OMOHI: The clan that lived in this area left numerous petroglyphs etched into the rocks known as “Papa,” which can be observed in this sector.
- Easter Island - ANA O’ HEU: Commonly referred to as the “Cave of the Make Make,” the petroglyphs inside depict the image of the god Make Make, making it a must-visit location on this tour.
- Easter Island - MOAI OF BLACK BASALT: This is one of the few moai statues crafted from basalt rock remaining in Rapa Nui, made from the same material as the Moai statue “Hoa Hakanana’ia” now housed in the British Museum.
- Easter Island - AHU A’TANGA: This is one of the island’s astronomically aligned platforms, pointing to astronomical north with remarkable precision, only 0.2° off from our current reference. Located at the northern tip of Rapa Nui, it is an “Ahu” platform of the “Poe Poe” type, constructed after European contact (1722), emulating a western boat, and is the largest in Rapa Nui at 25 meters in length.
- Easter Island - HANGA O’TEO: This site combines archaeological settlements of the “Miru” clan and ruins of an old cattle station, with palm trees creating an oasis-like impression amidst the deforested road on the north coast.
- Easter Island - ANA PAPA TEKENA: A small cave formed by a ground tunnel, featuring some ancestral dwellings and petroglyphs.
- Anakena Beach - Known for its warm turquoise waters and coral sand, this is the island’s main beach and was once the ancestral home of the Miru Araki royal family. The ahu Nau Nau is one of the island’s most refined Ahu, noted for the sophistication of its moai.
