Ahu Akivi stone statues

The only stone statues to be situated inland, the Ahu Akivi are also among those in the best condition. It may be hard to drag yourself away from Easter Island’s beautiful palm-lined golden coastline, but a trip to these moai is definitely worthwhile. The only of Easter Island’s statues to face the sea, their placing demonstrates that solar positions were important to Easter Islanders. An intriguing, beguiling place.
