This huge crater is a true sanctuary of nature. Formerly it served as the most important source of drinking water on the island, since its lake is made up of 100% rainwater.

We visited this ceremonial town on the edge of the Rano Kau volcano, where the deadly competitions of the Tangata Manu, which in the local language means “Bird Man”, took place, which determined which clan would be in charge of the island for a year.
