Rapa Nui National ParkWe will hike for 6 to 7 hours along the nortwestern and northern part of the Rapa Nui National Park, an area without roads where no motorized vehicles are allowed and very few people venture. We will pass by multiple ancient settlements including Ma'itaki te Moa, Vai Matā, Omohi, Otoki, Hanga Oteo, Papa Tekena, Vai Tara Kai 'Ua and Hanga Ohiro. In these we will see remains of monumental ahu, many fallen moai, some caves and petroglyph sites in an area that has been mostly undisturbed in the last 150 years.

Anakena BeachAfter 6-7 hours of hike, we reach the white sandy beach of Anakena, the capital of the Royal Miru district. Swimming is optional.
