15th October Easter Island

In the morning we ordered a taxi to Rano Raraku. The most amazing place on the island. This is a volcanic hill were they were creating Moai. Inside are a lot of figures, only few in a bad condition. They were in different stadiums of transportation from the querry to various platforms. Some of them were left unfinished at the top of the hill.

On pictures we saw how big their are. Unfortunately, at present you can see only parts of Moai. The rest of it is underground.

We bought a quidebook about Easter Island which was a good idea because without this book or a guide, we wouldn't get to know few facts or spot few interesting figures.
There are still parts of the National Park with forbidden entrance for visitors.
When we went to the crater we saw in the distance many figures but we couldn't get there.

After 3 hours in the National Park we went to Tongariki, the biggest platform with Moai. We decided that this will be the best place for sunrise. This place was reconstructed after tsunami by Japanese engineers and their big crane.

We walked to the town. There were very good local people which gave as a lift.
We stopped for a while at the place called Akahanga and Vaihu to see devastated Moai platforms.

The sun went down before 9pm and we managed to get to the town before it.

We saw an amazing spectacle near the Tahai platform close to the town of Hanga Roa.
