Orongo & Rano Kau Volcano Trip

Step into the ancient past of Easter Island with this day trip to the ceremonial village of Orongo and the Rano Kau volcano. Prepare to be astounded!

Orongo & Rano Kau Volcano Trip

At the indicated time, we'll collect you from your hotel and start a journey back to ancient times. The first stop is at Vinapu, an archaeological site with intricately carved stones and Ahu stone platforms resembling Inca constructions.

Next, we'll proceed to the Rano Kau volcano. We will walk along the sides and reach the top, where a huge crater contains one of the three freshwater lakes of Easter Island. From here, enjoy views of the landscape and the three islets where the Rapa Nui people performed an important religious ceremony.

Near Rano Kau, you'll find the ruins of Orongo, where oval-shaped stone statues overlook the ocean. The site also features petroglyphs depicting the “birdmen” and their annual egg-retrieving race.

By the end of the tour, you'll have discovered the legends and traditions of Easter Island, concluding the excursion 3 hours after pickup.

Itinerary Changes

Please note that the archaeological site of Orongo is closed until further notice. Instead, we'll visit Caleta Hango Pike, associated with a ceremonial complex important in the 19th century for its role as a transport port.

Entrance to Rapa Nui National Park

You'll need to purchase the entrance ticket to Rapa Nui National Park in advance, as it is not included in the price.
