DAY 01: EASTER ISLAND: Navigation to the Motus
From the hotel we will set off on vehicles to the Port of Hanga Piko. We will begin our excursion with a visit to three isles, Motu Nui, Motu Iti and Motu Kao Kao, in front of the ceremonial hamlet of Orongo. Partakers on the competition of the Birdman had to swim towards Motu Nui Isle to retrieve the first egg of a seagull. Then we will navigate towards the coast, sightseeing the Town of Hanga Roa with its coves until we reach the ceremonial site of Tahai. There we will feel like the first European sailors of the XVIII century, when they first met with the monumental statues of Rapa Nui. Return to Hanga Piko and the hotel.
