Ana O Keke Cave
Camino Vaitea Anakena Parque Nacional Hanga Roa, Isla de Pascua, Valparaíso Region, Chile
Easter Island’s coast is home to over 800 caves that were formed by lava flowing from volcanoes into the ocean. These caves later provided shelter and lodging for many Rapanui people. There are three in particular worth visiting. Remember to bring a flashlight. On the east side of the island, this cave contains drawings in the rongorongo language, the island’s original etymology.
