Following the journey we will find Ahu Te Pito Kura, which has the highest statue of the island erected in an Ahu, the moai Paro (10 meters high and 85 tons with a Pukao of 11.5 tons) and next to this ceremonial temple is a large spherical stone that is identified as the navel of the world (Te Pito or Te Henua),  which, according to legend, was brought to the island by Hotu Matua'a in his boat.

We continue our way to the Puna Pau quarry, an archaeological site east of Hanga Roa in a small crater of red scoria, from there the Pukao or headdresses with which they crowned the Maoi were obtained. Along its old exit trace, there are still some unfinished and abandoned. We continue our journey to Ahu Akivi, which was the first scientifically restored Ahu on the island in 1960. The platform with 7 Moai is characterized by being one of the few located in the center of the island and that its statues face the rising sun. It is said that these 7 Moai represent the 7 young explorers sent before the arrival of Hotu Matua'a to reconnoiter the island.
