Rano Kau: Trek Around the Crater Rim
via Viator
Duration
4 Hour
Languages
English +1
Trek along the edge of Rano Kau, one of the three extinct volcanoes of Rapa Nui. Moisture accumulates inside, creating a favorable microclimate for cultivation. There is a great diversity of native vegetation that surprises: bananas, tubers, and other edible species that make us think of ancient human occupations. It is considered that the manavai, an ancient system of cultivation of circular holes, protected by a stone wall, was inspired by the craters of volcanoes such as Rano Kau. When you reach the end of the route, you will find one of the most impressive settings on the island, the great crater of Rano Kau next to the 3 main islets of Rapa Nui.
