Rapa Nui: Guided archaeology tour following the trail of the moai｜Chile

We'll start by picking you up from your accommodation and, at the end of the sightseeing tour, we'll drop you back off for your convenience.

Join us on an unforgettable journey to discover the enigmatic history of the moai, exploring the most iconic sites of Rapa Nui.

This full-day sightseeing tour will immerse you in the fascinating ancestral culture of the island, starting in Vaihu, where we'll relive ancient life through a replica of a traditional Rapa Nui village.

We'll then continue to Ahu Akahanga, one of the largest villages on the island, where oral tradition says that the remains of the first king of Rapa Nui, Hotu Matu'a, are laid to rest.

We'll then visit Rano Raraku, the legendary quarry where nearly 98% of the moai were carved. Around 398 statues still remain here in various stages of construction, an impressive testament to the artistic and cultural legacy of the Rapa Nui people.

Our adventure continues at Ahu Tongariki, the largest ceremonial platform in the Pacific and home to the famous 15 moai, the iconic symbol of the island.

Later, we'll visit Te Pito Kura, home to the largest moai ever erected and a magnetic stone that, according to tradition, has properties that affect compasses.

We'll end in Anakena, the birthplace of Rapa Nui culture. You'll have free time for lunch at one of its restaurants, to relax under the palm trees, and to enjoy its crystal-clear waters and white sand beach, rounding off an unforgettable day in this Polynesian paradise.
