Ahu Tongariki
Fifteen moai stand above the Pacific on Rapa Nui, silhouetted at sunrise and lit on their faces in the afternoon.
From the inland side, frame the row of moai against the ocean and changing sky. You need a park ticket, your passport and an accredited guide or Rapa Nui host; arrange sunrise access beforehand. Do not touch the statues or fly drones. Before flying, complete the FUI and confirm the return-ticket and registered-lodging requirements.
