Easter Island Caves: Inside a Small Cavern of RapaNui

During a tourist trip to Easter Island (Rapa Nui) in the Southern Pacific Ocean, my wife and I discovered a hidden location, thanks to a recommendation from a local Chilean taxi driver. He suggested that we enter a peculiar small cavern and handed us a pair of flashlights. He also informed us that this place is virtually unknown because its entrance is wedged between rocks, making it difficult to notice from the road bordering the island. This video fails to capture the deeply moving sensation of unexpectedly seeing the sea and sky after walking through uneven, rocky terrain. This breathtaking view is revealed through two openings situated in a cliff face, approximately three or four stories above the ocean.

Although the island features numerous caves, the three main ones receive the most visitors. Finding information about them is now effortless, thanks to tourists who, like us, share videos and photographs of these locations. Despite being a tiny island in the middle of the ocean, it offers a considerable number of tourist attractions.

This image shows what is less known about this fare away island, because is not divulgued as its famos rocky statues spread commonly around he cost line. Adds also the fact of the main points of turism, areoport, the tiny principal city and special constructed  dwellings.

Although this is a tiny island, crossing its center gives the impression that it is much bigger. What catches our attention is the uninhabited landscape. 

The image shows a relatively even terrain featuring at least three small elevations. Notice how the border of this smooth dirt path is lined with a wall made of volcanic stone. In the distance, a large number of horses roam freely. Their population is so vast that I suspect they might actually outnumber the island's human inhabitants. 

There are multiple moai parts spread across the interior of the island and relatively near the coast. 

The last image above shows the probable outcome of the conflict that took place on the island, during a time when two factions were trying to destroy each other's moai. Try to search for more information on the web.  All of these dismantled statues are constantly being reconstructed by historical and archaeological teams. Because this clip was filmed several years ago, things might look a bit different today; keep that in mind.
