Chile - Isla de Pascua - Cueva Ana Kai Tangata
Ana Kai Tangata; Pintura rupestre en Rapa Nui
Ana Kai Tangata, es una cueva entre acantilados al sur de la Isla de Pascua, a poca distancia del poblado de Hanga Roa. De su bóveda emergen pinturas de manutaras (aves; gaviotín pascuense). Este era, probablemente, el lugar donde se reunían los los participantes de la ceremonia del Tangata Manu (Hombre Pájaro) que se realizaba en Orongo a pocos Km. de esta cueva.
La ceremonia del Hombre Pájaro se inició en el siglo XVIII y duró hasta la llegada de los misioneros católicos en 1866.
Tour Easter Island: Ana Kai Tangata Cave at Vinapu
There is only one medical professional on Easter Island who handles minor injuries. Buy travel insurance because a jet has to fly out serious problems and, of course, the person with the emergency will have to pay for it.
Ana Kai Tangata is a seldom visited cavern on the coast that holds the island's only cave paintings. Red and white Bird Men images can still be seen inside but a Tsunami destroyed most of the drawings and the cave is disintegrating. A rocky but safe path leads down to the cavern.

Hi! My name is Caya (CayaPhoto) and I like telling stories with my videos and my photos. This is the first attempt I make at a new format.
_________________
I moved to Santiago in late 2013. My company had just been accepted in a program for startups called Startup Chile, and my co-founders and I moved there for 6 months.
Flying to Easter Island is expensive. A Flight from Santiago on good dates is about $500, and trust me, we waited. Back then I lived on a $1,200 salary which is OK for Santiago but certainly not enough to travel much. I also had debt I had piled up from my previously failed startup attempt.
Our friends in startup Chile made trips to Torres del Paine, Atacama Desert and even Argentina, we saved up for Easter Island.
Less than a week before the trip I had been back home, where I learned I was going to be a dad. I was still wrapping my head around this as we flew out. I even considered canceling the trip, considering how broke I was, working for a still uncertain startup… and with a kid on the way, but luckily most expenses had already been paid for.
Rapa Nui, as the locals call this landmark island, is one of the most isolated places on Earth. A flight from Santiago, the nearest continental land mass is over 5 hours. Only about 4,000 people live on the tiny Island, which is just 25 km or 15 miles across.
Accommodations are quite humble, but Easter island is beautiful.
Wild horses roam the prairies. An inactive volcano crater dominates the landscape. Unsurprisingly, the locals settled Orongo, one of their villages there well over 500 years ago; most of which still stands and seems stolen out of the Last Jedi, or the other way around.
There’s a single beach on Rapa Nui, on the far side of the Island, the rest of the coast is made up of sharp, black, volcanic rock.
This volcanic rock is the material in which the Moai were sculpted, which is of course the reason we were there. As a kid my mom used to tell me how much she dreamt of visiting… and here I was, lucky enough to visit as early as my twenties.
The first statue you’ll probably see is the lonely Te Ata Hero, near Hanga Roa, the population center... only a few steps from there is Ahu Tahai, where you’ll see one of the best restored statues, with eyes and Pukao.
Over 900 statues were carved on Rapa Nui, between the years 1250 and 1500... and you can truly see the evolution of their designs, from very basic and simple shapes to the more stylized and ambitious statues.
They were carved as a symbol of political power and it’s also believed that they represented their ancestors. When the island was discovered on 1722 all the moai were standing, but by the 19th century they had all been toppled. It is believed that tribal rivalries over changing religions was the reason for the conflict. All the moai standing today were brought back up by archeologists.
The most mind boggling place on the island is Rano Raraku, the quarry were all of the moai were sculpted. While smaller, lighter pieces were transported over 10 miles across the island, the biggest moai never made it out of the quarry... they were just left abandoned.
This moai which was left incomplete, is 70ft or 21m long and weighs 270 tons. Walking the slopes of this crater turned quarry is out of this world.
A couple kilometers down stands Ahu Tongariki, the biggest Ahu on the island with the biggest Moai outside of the quarry. We heard this was a great place for sunrises, so on our last day on the island, we woke up at 3am in the morning and drove our rented scooter there.
There are no street lamps outside Hanga Roa, and without any planning this happened to be a new moon night. I had never seen stars so bright. You could walk around just with the starlight.
I only had my old Sony alpha nex-3 then, that my uncle sold to me. Luckily, he had bought a 16mm Lens that he included in the deal. This was my first time trying astrophotography.
I balanced the camera on the motorcycle seat, since I was carrying no tripod and we shot these.
To photograph the Ahu, I balanced the camera on the grass with some rocks. A couple or decent shots came up, with a coincidentally aligned Milky Way... but I wasn’t able to get enough light on the moai.
This is when a car drove by. By the strangest coincidence a car drove by at 4:30am in the morning, just as I was exposing the 30 second shot. The headlights illuminated the statues just right, with just the right amount of light… and I captured this.
We moved out of Chile only a couple weeks after this trip. With the both amazing and scary news I had received just a week earlier, escaping to Easter Island for a week helped me remain sane, and prepare for what was to come.

Easter Island Full Day Tour
My tour today starts at 10.00 and is of the West coast of the Island and will be led by Bill the hotel owner.
First up is Ana Kai Tangata, a cave on the coast known as the cannibal cave. It is quite steep to get down to it and the sea is very rough bashing up against the cliffs. The cave is quite big and opens up to the coast, it is also very high but I don’t think it would have offered much shelter to its occupants.
Next up was the volcanic caldera of Rano Kau. We stop off at an overlook that looks down into the crater lake, Bill explains that years ago this is where all the women used to go once a year and stay for a week or two to do their laundry. From this viewpoint you could see the full circle of the volcano.
A very short drive up from here is the old village of Orongo. Orongo was the centre of the Birdman Cult and here you will find almost 1800 petroglyphs and numerous houses.
This is where the famous Birdman competition took place, basically the competition involved the strongest members from each Clan descending down the cliff, swimming a mile to the Motu Nui Island and them wait for the eggs of the Sooty Tern to be laid and bring one back to present it to his Clans leader, the leader would then become the Birdman for the next year and rule over the island for that time.
We then travel back down the road and reach Vinapu, Vinapu features a female moai statue although it is so badly weathered it is difficult to tell and some very fine stonework similar to that of the Inca’s. which has led some people to theorise that the Island was populated from the East rather than the West and Polynesia (although all the evidence points to the first inhabitants coming from the West). There is also a number of fallen moai and topknots here.
We then drop Deb, Cheryl and Laurie off in town before continuing on the tour. We then end up at Puna Pau which is the topknot quarry where the red scoria was extracted, carved and transported. There are a number of abandoned topknots around the quarry and some even have petroglyphs carved into them.
The last Ahu we visit on the tour today is Ahu Akivi, the first Ahu on the Island to be restored in 1960. the 108 foot long Ahu features seven moai facing the setting sun and is belived to represent the seven explorers sent to scout the Island before the arrival of Hotu Matu’a and is estimated to have been constructed around 1450.
The final stop of today’s tour is Ana Te Pahu otherwise known as the banana cave due to the fact that banana trees grow up from the cave floor. The cave was used in ancient times as a shelter, defence and storage. The cave has openings at both ends and extends for almost 100 metres. At one end there is a large water pool that you can hear drops dripping into it.
We then drive back to town and get dropped off at the hotel.
I go and explore the Hanga Roa coast again like I did last night and end up in the same areas with the moai with the eyes. I eventually go for dinner at Hakahonu Restaurant and have the local fish with stir fried vegetables and it was great. I then walk around the town for a bit visiting the artisan markets and the church before going for an ice cream which turned out to be huge, almost the size of my head.

Ana Kakenga, the cave of two windows
This volcanic tube splits into two tubes ending in the rock of the cliff.
Both windows have fantastic views of the pacific ocean roaring beneath.
The entrance is just a small hole in the ground.
Ana Kakenga the Cave of Two Windows on Easter Island / Rapa Nui / Isla De Pascua
Ana Kakenga otherwise known as the cave of two windows. The cave is a lave tube of around 50 metres long. To enter the cave you need to squeeze through a rather narrow opening into the pitch darkness, it is quite tight for a while before it opens up, luckily I was prepared and had a torch, but it was so narrow I needed to take the pack off my back. The cave divides into two with two openings that overlook the ocean, which is where the cave gets its name from.
Ana Kakenga is a lava tube that upon cooling formed a crust that gave way to what today are the walls and ceiling of the cave. It has a length of approximately 50 meters and in ancient times served as a kionga or place of refuge.
In Ana Kakenga’s case, lava flowed into the sea and drain out by two mouths or “windows” that open onto the cliff, which is also known as the “Cave of the two windows.” Due to this particular formation, visiting this place offers the possibility of being surprised by the wonderful sights that await the end of the tour.
The entrance to the cave, opposite the Motu Taurtara islet, is quite small and looks more like a pile of stones, but some steps can be distinguished which are best to descend backwards and then rotate in the mouth of the cave. You need to bring a flashlight, because the tour goes through a rather narrow tunnel with a very low ceiling. After about 3 or 4 meters, the cave enlarges and you can walk comfortably standing, because the path becomes much easier and brighter thanks to the light from the two “windows.”
