Caverna Dos Ventanas Cave

easter island

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 northwest coast, the entrance to this cave is through a hole in the ground that intrepid visitors can crawl through. It opens up to extraordinary ocean views.
