Highlights
On this tour you will be able to visit the mythical ceremonial city of Orongo, where the Tangata Manu (Bird Man) competition was held, which consisted of jumping into the sea from a cliff and bringing a manutara egg to the shore. Whoever achieved it became the new king of Rapa Nui for a year, until the next competition. You will visit the incredible crater of the Rano Kau volcano and enjoy its beautiful landscape. In Vinapu, several theories are discovered, which suggest the possible arrival and influence of the Incas since time immemorial.

About Hanga Roa
Hanga Roa is the only town on Easter Island, Chile's remote Pacific outpost, with a small harbour and giant stone moai within walking distance.
Hanga Roa stretches along the west coast of Easter Island, called Rapa Nui by its people, some 3,500 km west of the Chilean coast. Nearly all the island's residents live here, in low houses among gardens, around a small fishing harbour and a church. A short walk north, the moai of Tahai stand on a platform beside the sea, facing inland, and the sun sets behind them.
