AHU AKIVI OR THE 7 MOAI
Home to seven Akivi moai or ahu, said to represent the envoys of Hotu-Matu (considered the island's first king).
Continuing due north from Puna Pau, after about 3 km, we arrive at Akiviahu, the only one located inland and whose moai look out over the ocean. Its seven moai represent the envoys of Hotu-Matua, considered the first king of the island. Moreover, according to specialists, this ahu seems to be placed according to a determined astronomical orientation: in front of the statues, one can see two stones between which the sun sets at the exact moment of the summer solstice. A magical sight if you are lucky enough to be around!
