Rano Kau and Orongo Volcano Private Tour

On this tour you will visit the mythical ceremonial city of Orongo, where the Tangata Manu (Birdman) competition was held, which consisted of jumping into the sea from a cliff and bringing a manutara egg to the shore. The one who succeeded became the new king of Rapa Nui for a year, until the next competition. You will visit the incredible crater of the Rano Kau volcano and enjoy its beautiful scenery. In Vinapu several theories are discovered, which hint at the possible arrival and influence of the Incas since time immemorial.
