What Will You Do

ANA TE PAHU

Lava channels that go along an important territory, through which four underground chambers connect, form Ana Te Pahu, the biggest cave in Rapa Nui. Its great size made it ideal in primitive times; several umu (old kitchen system) show it was also used to prepare food. Ana Te Pahu is also known as the “cave of the bananas” since there is a big amount of that tree in the entrance.

AHU TE PEU

Ahu Te Peu is an area with a high archeological value. Since it hasn’t been restored it is possible to observe the site exactly as the old inhabitants who, after internal wars, knocked down the moais left it. There used to be a village there. In fact, you can see the biggest boathouse or hare paenga in the island, which is 43 metres long and is called Tore Tahuna which, according to tradition, belonged to famous Ariki Tu’u Ko Ihu. In front of the village, there are two ahu or ceremonial platforms, the biggest of which has a back wall with huge well assembled blocks with 4 knocked down moais.

ANA TE PORA

​Volcanic cave whose main entrance is about 100 meters from the parking lot. This cave it was used as both a shelter and ceremonial place in ancient times.
