Orongo and ceremonial temples
The Rano Kau Volcano, the ceremonial city of Orongo, and the Vinapu Orongo temple, are part of a village or ceremonial center located in the Rano Kau Volcano region. In Orongo, you can observe images of the Tangata Manu (bird man), Make Make (god), and Komari (symbol of fertility). Vinapu is comprised of 2 temple ruins very much like the ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru.
Vaihu, Tongariki, Te Pito Kura, Nau Nau and Rano Raraku
These ceremonial Centers correspond to "Ahu", or platforms where the majestic, seated Moais statues are found. One of the most spectacular areas is the Ahu Tongariki, comprised of 15 restored moais that make up the largest ceremonial infrastructure on the island. Almost all of the island's existing moais were carved in the Rano Raraku Volcano quarries. From the peak of the volcano you have an incredible view of the four cardinal points of the island as well as the nearby ceremonial villages.
Ahu Akivi, Te Pahu and Puna Paus Quarry
The Ahu Akivi, is another restored ceremonial center made up of 7 moais statues. The moais hats were carved in the Puna Paus quarry and Te Pahu is one of the island's largest caves.
