Ahu Tongariki
Chile
Discover the breathtaking splendour of the largest ceremonial platform on Easter Island, home to fifteen towering moai statues. Ahu Tongariki, dramatically set against a backdrop of the roaring Pacific Ocean and verdant volcanic hills, is a mesmerising testament to the island's mysterious past. Once toppled by a 1960 earthquake and tsunami, these monumental figures were meticulously restored in the 1990s, standing once again to watch over the island. Each moai, with its own distinct facial expression, seems to whisper tales of the ancient Rapa Nui civilisation. As the sun rises, casting golden hues across their stoic faces, you'll experience a truly captivating spectacle.
