It is amazing to see the moai heads protruding out of the ground. Trying to imagine how they transported them to other parts of the islands left me dumbfounded. There are a couple of giant moai still in situ in the rock. Maybe not as exciting as Tongariki but still an awesome sight. There is a cafe, shop and toilets nearby.

Honestly, after seeing Tongariki and the other restored, and not so restored, major sites Puna Pau was a bit disappointing. The views from the site were fabulous and trying to imagine how the ancients moved these stones out of this little valley engaged the brain for a while. But it really seems like it is a tertiary site with visits there done to justify two full days of sightseeing.

You see remains of top hats which were supposed to rest on the heads of moais. Very interesting and scenic spot.

All the island is an unique experience. You will like it all. From this place comes the stone that became the top of the Moai. The place is beautiful. Ii is amazing how they could move those massive stones!

Very strange to see the different coloured stones they used for the hats. It seems amazing that they could even think about hoisting them on top of the statues. Very nice place there so do go and see it.
