This afternoon we visit Ahu Huri, one of the last altars to be restored by Dr. William Mulloy, the American anthropologist known for his work and studies into Polynesian prehistory. Next we will visit Ahu Akivi, an archaeological site that was the first scientifically restored site during the 60's. It is a ceremonial place, particularly interesting not only for its location (centre of the island) but also by the legends that are known as the seven moai. A particular feature of the seven identical moai statues is that they exactly face sunset during the Spring Equinox and their backs to the sunrise during the Autumn Equinox. Such an astronomically precise feature is seen only at this location on the island.
Finally we will visit Puna Pau, a small crater or cinder cone on the outskirts of Hanga Roa in the south west of Easter Island. Puna Pau was the sole source of the red scoria that the Rapa Nui people used to carve the Pukao (topknots) that they put on the heads of some of their iconic moai statues.

Today we head towards Anakena beach through the centre of the island. Anakena has 4 ahu sites, 2 of which have been reconstructed and 2 others which attest to the weathering of time. The first ahu is called Ature Huki which was restored in 1955 and the other is called Ahu NauNau which was restored by the same archaeologist Sergio Rapu. The trip continues towards Ahu Te Pito Kura: this site has only a moai, however it measures 10m and weighs up to 90 tons making it the largest moai to be raised on a platform. Next we arrive at Rano Raraku, one of the most interesting archaeological sites with 396 moai in the quarry. Some of the statues are still encrusted in the rock of the quarry never to be moved, others are in the process of getting finalized and some are in the staging area waiting for the moving crew to bring the moai to its destined ahu. We continue to Ahu Tongariki, one of the most visually stunning sites on the island which shows how the ancient people were part of a true megalithic culture. This site has 15 moai that were restored in the 80's after a huge tsunami came ashore in 1960. Finally we head to Ahu Akahanga where it is believed the grave of the first king of the island, Hotu Matu'a can be found.
