This solitary Moai is a real hidden gem, there are no indications to find it, nor it's possible to spot it from far unless you really pay attention. But any statue is banal on Easter Island, this one even less, it's so worth it the visit! Its position in the island interior is strategically: it looks in the direction where the sun rises during the winter solstice and probably it was used as a solar observatory. Now it's in a quiet place in the countryside, you probably will be there alone and you can take all your time to observe this particular statue. Besides its astronomical importance, it's the only Moai with 4 hands, such a mysterious feature! You can clearly see them, the lower part of its body is in quite good conditions. Personally I found it original and fascinating, another piece of art of the magical Rapa Nui!

In the middle of the island, quite away from all the coastal ones, the thing that is special about this moai is that astronomically it lines up with the spring equinox for the southern hemisphere,

The terrain ight in front of it, was cleared for a ceremony just the week before our arrival, so it was very need, and showed remains of commuity cooking firebowl
If you have time, this is worth the visit.

take the winding road back to this hidden gem. get out of your car and walk up slowly to this incredible statue. you can just sit there and stare at it all the while wondering how DID they do this?
