What's included in T1-THE GRAND TOUR (non-cruise visitors)
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Ahu Tahai
Very nice ceremonial complex restored in the village, nestled in the bay of Hanga Roa. This former royal residence is the ideal place to admire the sunsets with several platforms and Moai in the foreground. It is also an opportunity to understand the territorial arrangement characteristic of the ancient civilization and the way in which humans modify their environment to arrive at these surprising constructions.
Anakena Beach
On the other side of the island, opposite the only village, the white sandy beach of Rapa Nui: Anakena. This is where the first Polynesian settlers arrived. An idyllic place, worthy of the most beautiful postcards, bathed in translucent waters and sheltered in the only coconut grove of Easter Island. Here, too, the site has been completely restored, and its Moai are the best preserved that we can still admire today.
Ahu Te Pito Kura
Continuing between Anakena beach and the Poike peninsula in the North East, you will discover the largest Moai which was raised on its altar. Knocked down in the 19th century and broken in two, it bears witness to the gigantism of this astonishing megalithic civilization. Next to the platform, a stone with magnetic anomalies seems to protect the giant stone.
