Had a little walk in the mountains of Easter Island. 500 meters height is the highest point of the island. A few hours walk to reach the top and a lot of wild horses everywhere! :)
This place was dedicated to the very special ceremony of the "Bird Man". Every year, there was a contest on the island where the men who wanted this title must jump in the sea, swim to the little pointed rock, climb on the top of it, take an egg of a big sacred bird living there, and bring it back to the community. And just behind is the biggest and perfectly round shaped volcano called Orongo. A fascinating place!

The Ahu Tahai site is located on the west coast of the island and is the perfect spot to admire the sunset. We went there many times to catch the beauty of the sunset. To be continued...
