One of the highest point of the entire island, this is a cornerstone of experience. The drive up and the explanations you can listen or find are already a fantastic experience but the view you get to the top is simply stunning. Nature can be as impressive as here!

Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Orongo offers visitors a glimpse into a fascinating world where competition, religion, and mythology converge against an incredible natural backdrop. We had a guide with us as part of the whole Rapa Nui package, who told us fascinating stories about bird-man competition.

You will need a guide to enter this area. If you have seen the Rapa Nui movie and know about the Bird Man competition, this is very surreal because the views are breathtaking and exactly like the movie. The winds were pretty intense on this side of the island and at this elevation. It was neat to see the "VIP" huts where the people would watch the event. Pretty historical place for the Rapa Nui people here. There are no Moai here, but it's rich in history and scenery.

This is the classic spot of Easter Island and is only a short drive from the city. There are great ocean views, views of old living quarters and views of the volcano. There are bathrooms here

The views are stunning but be careful to have a ticket and a guide in advance. If you don't have them than you'll see what we've seen - an old volcano and panoramic view over the island. Everything else is hidden on the other side of the museum.

Beautifully restored village from the ancient festival of the Manutara.
The visitor's center is well kept. There are two gender neutral bathrooms, an entire wall of information and pictures and drawings explaining the festivities. The park rangers are very helpful.
The sights are amazing and the history is so rich.
The absolute best is the crater lake 😍

Have your park pass printed in advance to one stamped. Guide is recommended for great information about this site. Since most of you will have a guide I won’t go into the significance of these housings for the birdman competition. Enjoy this and the crater. It’s beautiful.

A great place to learn more about the culture of Rapa Nui! The site itself is a bit less mind-blowing than seeing the Moai and your experience will largely depend on your guide and how much explanations they'll give you. From here, there are nice views of the surrounding islands and of the crater of the volcano. You'll need a ticket and a guide to visit.
