What makes T4-ISLAND TOUR: MAIN SITES (non-cruise visitors) a unique experience ?
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.
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.
Shortly after, we stop on a basalt outcrop that houses petroglyphs, the other great expression of the Neolithic civilization of Easter Island. Concentrated on fishery resources, these representations remind us of the importance of the marine universe, an essential component of the Rapa Nui environment.
A stop of a few minutes to appreciate the aerophone stone.
Almost all the stone giants of Easter Island have been carved here. The Moai quarry is the site that most fascinates visitors. Hundreds of statues are still there and continue to captivate tourists from around the world who wander among them.
Then we will arrive at one of the architectural gems of Polynesia: the Ahu Tongariki. It is the most important and undoubtedly the most remarkable restored site on the island. 15 Moai, these monoliths that have made Easter Island world famous, face visitors. Supposed to be astronomical, the sunrises give the place a special atmosphere.
