Hanga Piko, a small cove nestled among hills south of Hanga Roa, translates to ‘hidden bay’ in Rapanui. This site has been a long-standing settlement for Easter Island’s residents. Today, it serves as the island’s primary cargo port and the heart of its traditional fishing industry. Visitors can explore a cave and an ahu ceremonial platform, which hosts a single moai statue, offering a glimpse into the island’s rich cultural heritage.
