Geography

Created from the multiple eruptions of its three main volcanoes – Maunga Terevaka, Poike and Rano Kau- extinguished more than 10,000 years ago, Rapa Nui is triangularly shaped and it has 173 km2 of surface.

On its rugged and rocky coast, we find cliffs and caves generated as a result of lava. The rest of the territory is full of soft hills that, when descending to sea level, create Anakena and Ovahe, the only beaches with coral sand in the area.
