Easter Island - Southeastern Coast and Interior

Ahu Te Pito Kura is the largest moai ever erected on an ahu, although it now lies faces down on the slope to the platform. It is almost 10m/32ft long and is thought to be the last moai erected on an ahu and also possibly the last one to fall.

Fifteen moai have been re-erected at this site, which was the largest ahu ever built. A 1960 tsunami which followed a large earthquake had knocked down all of the statues. Near the are there are also a number of petroglyphs.

This small beach is less busy and has some interesting caves in the area.

At the eastern end of the island is Península Poike with the extinct volcano Maunga Pu A Katiki.

Playa Anakena is one of the island's most popular white-sand beaches.

On the slopes of the volcano Rano Raraku is the quarry used for the moai. Many moai can be seen here in all stages of development, both standing and fallen. Several very large moai remain here, including the largest one ever carved, measuring 21m/68ft. There are also moai inside the crater, many of which are standing, others have fallen and some are incomplete.
