The ahus are the platforms on which the moai stand. As many of the ahus are also ancient burial grounds, you should not walk on the ahus themselves. In some areas there are rangers working, and if you step where you shouldn't you'll start to hear the whistle, and then you know you're in trouble.
On your first day, spend the time to walk up the coast from Hanga Roa as far as ahu Vai Uri or, for the more adventurous, ahu Te ihu o Motu pare. This walk will get you acclimatised abnd a great sense of what Easter Island is about. My best memory of Easter Island was sitting with a Maoi from the Rano Raraku Quarry and watching the sunset.
It is very important to maintain a courteous and appropriate attitude with the islanders. They are extraordinary people that deserves respect, because they are, with the atmosphere of the island, those that will make of your trip an unforgettable experience. My sister's marriage.
Just walking among the huge figures is a humbling and fascinating experience. Easter Island...Paaseiland...Isla de Pascula...Rapa Nui - All names for this island 2.030 nautical miles away from the continent. All names that condure up dreams and meant that we HAD to see it for ourselves! We went wondering what it would be like, and came away stunned by its unearthly beauty and strangeness and mystery. Something we will never forget.
try to bring some new items along with you to trade at the market. As supplies are expensive to get to EI, the costs to the locals are as well. I took a number of things to trade, but the most popular were good quality T-shirts with logos and/or country names. Also good, were Levis jeans and portable cassette players with headphones (should have batteries as well). You can use these to trade at the local market near the church in Hanga Roa.
