Day 1

- Ahu Akivi Island Mini Tour: Let us introduce you to the mysteries of Easter Island. Departing from Hanga Roa, this tour will take you to visit Ahu Akivi, the Tahai ceremonial complex comprising three main ahu from north to south: Ko Te Riku (with restored eyes), Tahai and Vai Ure and Puna Pau Quarry and The Te Caverna. of Pahu. Ahu Akivi's 7-Moai platform faces the equinoctial rising sun with each statue standing at around 16 feet tall and weighing around 18 tons. According to folklore, the seven statues represent the seven young explorers who left Hiva, a legendary Polynesian homeland, to reconnoitre on the island after the spiritual priest Haumaka made the first chief, Hotu Matu'a, aware of the existence of the island. You will have time to reflect on this history and the many other mysteries of Easter Island as you wander around exploring the incredible Moai structures.
- Orongo and Rano Kau Half-Day Tour: Spend a day visiting the southwestern coast of Easter Island, including the Ahu Vinapu archaeological complex, Rano Kao volcano, and the ceremonial city of Orongo. Our first stop will be at the Ceremonial Complex of Ahu Vinapu, which has one of the largest Moais on the island. Then we will go to the Rano Kau volcano, whose slopes offer an impressive view of the Motu Nui, Motu Iti, Motu Kao Kao islets. Rano Kau has a crater lake which is one of the three natural bodies of fresh water on the island. Heading west, we will arrive at the town of Orongo; It was used between 1600 and 1866 AD to worship the bird men. The village consists of approximately 50 elliptical shaped schist wall houses with a small square driveway overlooking the ocean. Arranged in two unequal rows, the bottom row ends at Mata Ngarahu, the sacred precinct where they used to worship the Birdman. This is also the location of one of the most ornately decorated petroglyphs on the island. As you explore, hear some incredible legends about the island.

- Anakena Island Full-Day Tour: Experience the beauty, mystery, and spectacular scenery of Easter Island on this full-day tour to Anakena, a white-sand beach said to have been the arrival point of the chief from Polynesian Hotu Matu'a, who settled on the island. The tour begins in Hanga Roa, from where we will explore the southeast and northeast coasts of the island, visiting the temples of Ahu, Akahanga and Tongariki. This last temple houses the largest platform of Moais near the ocean with 15 giant statues. Then we will go to the Rano Raraku volcano, with its "Cantera de los Moais" (litt.
