Near Hanga Roa, Ana Kai Tangata is a volcanic cave steeped in the rich history of Easter Island. The cave’s walls are adorned with numerous petroglyphs, offering a glimpse into the island’s past and its connection to the birdman cult. Despite unsubstantiated rumors of cannibalism, the site was historically used for building canoes. Today, visitors can explore the cave and observe the powerful waves crashing against the cliffs, creating a dramatic and immersive experience.
