On Easter Island, there are three main volcanoes. One of the most stunning views is from Rano Kau volcano. You'll need a good pair of hiking shoes, bottled water and your stamina to tackle it on this exhilarating hike.
Begin your day with a drive up to Rano Kau volcano. Set out on your hike from here, walking on a trail towards Vai A Tare. The hike is on a path that will allow some views of the caldera of the volcano. In other moments, you will see the vegetation that is present on the sides of the path. Your hike will end at Vai A Tare, from where it is possible to have wonderful views of the caldera. Spare some time taking your pictures. Afterwards, hike back to the same point you started but this time following a trail on the rim of the volcano. Reboard your vehicle that will bring you to the lookout of Rano Kau. Enjoy the wonderful view from the lookout to the interior of the caldera, which is filled with water. It is not permitted to walk inside the caldera due to safety reasons.
After filling your camera with spectacular photos, begin your drive back to the pier.
