This is the quarry where the top-knots were made from a light volcanic larval rock. There are several finished products laying around obviously awaiting delivery. At the top of the hill is a place to get a good view over the town of Hanga Roa...More

It is where the red hats were mined. So you see a few scattered around. For the rest it is not so impressive.

Perhaps it was the rainy, cloudy foggy day. But the walk up to Puna Pau did not deliver much of value. It is the source of the red "sombreros" worn by the moais, and there are a couple large wheels carved out of the rocks....More
