Exploration Path
We depart by van toward Vinapu, visiting its ahu and its unique construction. We then go to Rano Kau, the biggest crater on the island. We hike around part of the crater, where we will see the biodiversity of the wetland inside, before reaching the ceremonial village of Orongo, where we will learn more about the story of the famous Birdman competition.
As one of the volcanoes from which the island originated, Rano Kau’s vigilant gaze defines Rapa Nui’s enigmatic cultural landscape.
