Easter Island, a small volcanic island, is world famous for its giant 'moai' statues, built in his honor by the island's inhabitants, the Rapa Nui people, during the 13th - 16th centuries.
Ahu Tahai is the closest moai site to Hanga Roa, the island’s main town and harbor. Here you will find three ‘ahu’ or ceremonial platforms.
1. Ahu Tahai
Ahu Akivi is the only platform where the moai face the sea. The statues on this platform are the same shape and height, creating a sense of balance.
