North Coast of Easter Island: Full day Private Trekking Tour
Things to know
About the Activity
Enjoy this trekking to the untouched coast. Visit caves, archeological platforms, and petroglyphs and discover how the islanders lived completely isolated from the rest of the Island. The North coast is a place of settlement of the "Miru" clans, ancient descendants of the first King Hotu Matu'a, this sector is undoubtedly the one that remains mostly intact from the impact of man, its geographical location between the slopes of the highest volcano Terevaka and the West coast of Rapa Nui allows it to be the setting that even in these times transports us to the desolate past of Rapa Nui. In this hiking, it is possible to see how animals that freely graze the surroundings and the archaeological remains that are preserved as in the past combine. It is only possible to access this sector on foot or horseback. This trekking will end up in Anakena, an ancient royal settlement characteristic of its white sands, turquoise waters, and palm trees6 hours

Ahu Te Peu(Pass By)
Isla de Pascua, Hanga Roa, ChileAhu 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 the 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.Easter Island(Pass By)
Easter Island, ChileMA'IRAKI TE MOA:
The Ma'ítaki te Moa sector has a unique "Ahu" ceremonial platform, with a rear wall of large stones with precise cuts between stones that speak of the high level and experience in the construction of the ancient Rapa Nui who inhabited the area.
Inserted into the same platform as another stone is a unique Moai made of a different material from the 98% of the Moai that were built in the Rano Raraku quarry, among other archaeological features scattered around the place.

Easter Island, ChileVAI MATA: The archaeological complex where it is possible to see the settlement of a town that also developed constructions of a high architectural level, evidence at a glance in the design of its "Ahu" platform, which has more precise stone cuts. We can also see, just a few meters away, some Moai that fell in their transport process to the place, old Hare Vaka constructions, or houseboats that were the typical Rapa Nui dwelling of that time, among other typical archaeological features of an ancient village.
One of the points of greatest interest is a house called Ana or Haro, a cave created by man that was used as a home and has a lining of rectangular blocks of reused boat house bases, making it destable its design and unique on the island.
