Super Trekking Poike
Maunga Poike is not just a volcano; it's the place where Rapa Nui's geological formation began. Unlike traditional tours, the Super Trekking Poike takes you along pristine routes, far from the crowds, to the summit of the island's first volcano.
On this adventure, you'll discover unique archaeological sites like the Poike Faces (rock carvings), the mystical Cave of the Virgins ( Ana o Keke ), and the legendary Long Ears Pit. It's an experience designed for those seeking more than just a photo opportunity: a genuine connection to the land and its past.
