Tahai, Archaeological site in Rapa Nui, Chile
The Tahai complex spans 250 meters north to south along the coast, featuring three ceremonial platforms with restored moai statues facing inland.
The earliest settlements at Tahai date to 700 AD, when the Marama clan established their political and religious center on this strategic coastal location.
The ceremonial platforms of Ahu Vai Uri, Ahu Tahai, and Ahu Ko Te Riku display different architectural styles and represent ancient Rapa Nui religious practices.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site through a short walk from Hanga Roa, requiring a Rapa Nui National Park entry ticket for access.
Ahu Ko Te Riku contains the sole moai statue on Easter Island with restored eyes, constructed from cement to demonstrate their historical appearance.
