Sunset at Tahai
This attraction is an old sanctuary. Its archaeological interest is combined with its three “Ahu”, one on the north, other on the south, and the last one in the center. In Tahai you can find archaeological vestiges of Williams Mulloy, in the southern Ahu, and in the northern moai you will see the white coral eyes. In the place is celebrated the Tapati Rapa Nui.
