Rano Raraku
Volcanic crater of Rano Raraku. The slightly inland quarry at "Rano Raraku" is where the majority of moais were created, on a hillside. A climb to the left side of the crater, over the top, and into the bowl, is well worth it. Hiking to the opposite lip of the crater, where the most moai are found, is one of the most dramatic sites on the island.
