Orongo: The Path of the Rapa Nui Warrior｜Chile

Delve into one of the most fascinating rituals of Rapa Nui: the Birdman competition, or Koro Manu, a tradition that signified the renewal of power and political equality among the tribes. This tour will take you to the main venues where this sacred challenge was held, bringing together history, nature, and mysticism.

We will begin by ascending to the imposing Rano Kau volcano, home to the ceremonial village of Orongo. Here, you will discover the remains of the stone houses where the competitors prepared for the epic contest, as you immerse yourself in the history of the island's last great ancestral rite.

Our next stop will be Vinapu, an archaeological site known for its perfectly carved platforms, reminiscent of Inca architecture, where you will be able to see one of the few female Moai, a figure that has piqued the curiosity of archaeologists around the world.

We will conclude this experience at Ahu Huri A Urenga, a unique platform featuring a moai facing the sea, whose mysterious astronomical alignment holds secrets related to the ancient knowledge of the Rapa Nui people.
