Rano Raraku, also known as the quarry, is the volcano from which all the moai were carved. After their completion, the giant statues were transported to their final location on the ahu, a ceremonial platform, somewhere around the island. Not all of them reached it, though. Many are still lying on the hills of the abandoned quarry, buried to their shoulders, bodies hidden underground.
The giant moai alone make this one of the most absolutely amazing places on earth. But as if that wasn't enough, there's also a crater lake on the other side of the slope.
Who cares for a swim?
