Description

Enjoying the personalized experience of having a guide of your own, you will have all the time in the world for questions, and you'll be able to have the tour adjust to your taste and liking. During the two days you'll visit all of the highlights of Easter Island, including Orongo, Rano Raraku, Ahu Tongariki, Ahu Akivi and much, much more. The itinerary is highly optimized to visit the sites with best possible light conditions, and with the least amounts of crowds. Day 1 --- Anakena Beach: Discover the island's most enchanting beach, where the ancient capital once thrived. Marvel at the best-preserved moais, recently unearthed to reveal their secrets after centuries. While the tour focuses on the rich archaeological treasures, those wishing for leisure time can return to soak in the sun and sea. Te Pito Kura: Stand in awe of the tallest moai ever transported, an imposing figure at 9.9 m. Nearby, a mysterious magnetic rock is said to wield magical powers, inviting speculation and wonder. Puna Pau: Venture into the small volcano that supplied the red scoria for the moai's distinctive topknots. This source of the pukao adds a vibrant touch to the island's iconic statues. Ahu Akivi: Encounter the unique monument where moais gaze outward to the sea, possibly commemorating the island's first settlers. This site offers a poignant connection to Easter Island's exploratory spirit. Tahai: Admire the ambition and craftsmanship of ancient tribesmen who erected several statues across three platforms, crafting a direct path to the ocean's embrace. Rano Kau: Behold the breathtaking crater lake of Rano Kau, a vital ancient water source surrounded by stunning vistas. Its beauty and significance captivate all who visit. Orongo: Explore the ceremonial village perched on Rano Kau's ridge, dedicated to the intriguing birdman competition. The panoramic views here are unparalleled, offering a glimpse into the island's spiritual heritage. Day 2 --- Vinapu: Be intrigued by Ahu Tahira's perfectly fitted rock wall, showcasing engineering so advanced it hints at Incan influence. This site's precision in stonework is a testament to the island's sophisticated past. Hanga Poukura: Just beyond Vinapu lies Hanga Poukura, where mysterious statues are intriguingly buried, revealing only their backs. The area is also known for its dramatic blowhole, a natural wonder that mesmerizes with each ocean surge. Vaihu: Step back in time at a reconstructed ancient village, offering a hands-on experience of traditional living, farming techniques, and the unique 'boat houses' of yore. Rano Raraku: Gaze upon the volcanic 'factory' of moais, where time stands still among hundreds of statues left unfinished, capturing a moment frozen in history. Ahu Tongariki: Conclude with the awe-inspiring sight of Ahu Tongariki, where 15 majestic moais stand in silent testament to Rapa Nui's enduring legacy, making it the most iconic symbol of the island's mysterious past.
