Puna Pau is a unique and fascinating site located in the town of Hanga Roa on Easter Island. This ancient quarry is a small, volcanic crater that was used by the Rapa Nui people to extract the red scoria stone that was used to make the distinctive topknots that adorned the heads of many of the island's moai statues.
The quarry is surrounded by lush vegetation and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Visitors can explore the site and see the various stages of the quarrying process, from the extraction of the stone to the carving and shaping of the topknots.
One of the most interesting features of Puna Pau is the variety of different shapes and sizes of topknots that were produced here. Some are simple and unadorned, while others are intricately carved with intricate designs and patterns.
In addition to its historical significance, Puna Pau is also a popular spot for hiking and nature walks. The surrounding area is home to a variety of plant and animal species, including several species of birds and the rare Easter Island palm.
Overall, Puna Pau is a must-see destination for anyone interested in the history and culture of Easter Island. Its unique geological features and rich cultural heritage make it a truly unforgettable experience.
