Rano Raraku

Rano Raraku - Easter Island Moai Statue Quarry

Rano Raraku is the Easter Island statue quarry and not only are there cavities in the volcanic rock where the moai were carved and removed but many moai are still in various states of completion.

This is where we had to pay the $60 park entry fee which is good for five days so hopefully will not need to pay anything again it has recently gone up from $10 which it was for many years. I don’t mind paying the fee if it helps to preserve the statues.

We walk around the quarry following the designated paths and are not allowed to touch any of the statues, we spend a bit of time here exploring all the moai. Chris explains that the statues are actually in pits buried up to their necks and only 1/3 of the figures are visible, this was so the sculptors could work on the statues back and face.

We walk around the hill a bit to see a moai still attached to the cliff, Chris shows us the tool that the sculptors used to carve the statues; it was basically a hard bit of stone that the used to bang against the soft stone of the moai. We continued to walk around and saw the kneeling moai which has had to have a fence put around it due to people having their pictures taken on it’s knee causing it to get damaged, someone has even carved their initials into its back.

We then walk a bit higher and come across “El Gigante” the largest moai ever carved at 65 feet and estimated to weigh 250 tons, it is still in it’s construction phase and would have been impossible to move if complete.

To finish our tour at Rano Raraku we walk up to the craters rim to see the fresh water lake that is inside. There is also a number of moai in here as well. On the shore of the lake there are a number of reed beds.

Rano Raraku - Easter Island, Chile

We visited Rano Raraku, which was the 'factory' of Moai, you can see many Moais buried in the ground. I definitely suggest visiting this place.

Day 8 - Rano Kau & Rano Raraku Easter Island | Chile Travel Vlog

Today on Easter island we hiked 9km to the top of the volcano Rano Kau. In the afternoon the reason for going to the island became a reality seeing the Moai heads at Rano Raraku. A dream to see in person and one I will never forget.

See some of my photography from this trip on my #Instagram

Isla de Pascua Videoguía, 6 Volcán Rano Raraku. Easter Island, Chile 2015

SUSCRÍBETE:

El Volcán Rano Raraku es la cantera de los Moai.
En él se tallaban y después se trasladaban desde allí a todos los puntos de la isla.
La mayoría están semienterrados por el paso del tiempo, pero tienen cuerpo además de las cabezas que se pueden ver.
Visitamos también el cráter del volcán, impresionante, con un lago hermoso en su interior.
Una de las visitas imprescindibles en Isla de Pascua.

The volcano Rano Raraku is the quarry of the Moai.
In it they were carved and then moved from there to all points of the island.
Most are partly buried by the passage of time, but have the body besides the heads can be seen.
We also visited the crater, impressive with a beautiful lake inside.
A must visit in Easter Island.

모아이를 만들고 다듬던 채석장 같은 곳, 라노 라라쿠(Rano Raraku). 이스터섬에 존재하는 대부분의 모아이 석상이 이곳에서 만들어졌다고 한다. 쓰러져 있는 모아이도 있고 땅에 박혀 누워있는 모아이도 있다. 이동하다 부서진 것인지, 학자들의 추정대로 부족 간의 전투 때문인지, 과정을 알 수 없는 미완의 모아이가 여러 곳에 흩어져 있다. 보이지 않는 하반신 부분은 땅속에 박혀 있다고 하니 그 크기를 가늠하기 어렵다. 왜 이런 석상들을 만들었고 이것을 만든 주인공들은 도대체 어디로 사라진 걸까? 거대한 조상신을 만들어 무엇을 기원하려고 했을까? 해마다 수많은 관광객이 이 수수께끼를 좇아 멀고 먼 신비의 섬을 방문한다. 미처 빛을 보지 못한 채 바위 속에서 잠든 모아이다. 산중턱에도 모아이를 만들다 만 자국들이 덩그러니 남아 있다. 키가 20m나 되는 거대한 모아이가 멈춘 흔적이다. 세월을 거슬러 떠나는 과거로의 여행은 언제나 더 많은 수수께끼를 품고 간다. 산중에서 만들어진 모아이가 저 해안가까지 이동했다니 새삼 놀랍다.

다음으로 향한 곳은 모아이 석상의 원산지이자 제조 공장이라 불릴만한 라노라라쿠. 산 전체가 화산재가 굳어져 만들어진 응회암과 흑요석이다. 이곳에 있는 모아이는 약 400개인데 어떤 이유인지는 모르지만 만들다 만 모아이 석상의 모습도 볼 수 있다. “여기서부터 저기까지 이렇게 먼데 어떻게 옮겼을지 직접 보면 더 감동할 수밖에 없어요. 정말 환상적이에요.” 마케마케 신이 모아이에게 걸어 올라가라고 했다는 전설과 우주인이 만들었다는 가설까지 상상력을 더한다. “2019년 오늘날까지 섬 전체에 1100여 개의 모아이가 있다는 것을 발견했어요. 크기는 1m에서부터 가장 큰 모아이가 21m까지 다양하게 있고. 무게는 200톤 가까이 돼요.“ 한때 섬 인구보다 많았다는 석상들. 쓰러져 있는 모아이를 보고 있자니 혼돈의 시대를 거쳐 파괴된 이스터섬의 모습을 그대로 보고 있는 듯하다. “이곳은 단지 모아이를 만드는 공장일뿐이기 때문에 모아이의 형태는 중요하지 않아요. 모아이 운반의 목표는 목적지에 가는 거예요. 여기서는 거의 완벽한 모습으로 출발해요. 그리고 해안 근처의 플랫폼인 아후에 모아이가 도착하면 항상 마을을 향해 모아이의 시선을 두고 세웠어요. 항상 바다를 등지고 있죠.“ 그 옛날 거대 석상 모아이를 나무로 굴려서 옮겼던 것일까? 아니면 밧줄로 당기면서 뒤뚱뒤뚱 옮겼을까? 영원한 미스터리다.

The next destination is the Laorra Raku which is the origin of the moai statue and is called the manufacturing factory. The whole mountain is made of hardened volcanic ash and obsidian. There are about 400 moai here, but I do not know why, but I can see Moai statue. From here to there, I can not help but feel more impressed when I see how far I have moved. It's really fantastic. The imagination is added to the hypothesis that the makememaker has asked Moai to walk up and that the astronaut made it. By 2019, we have found that there are over 1100 moai throughout the island. The size ranges from 1m to 21m with the largest moai. The weight is close to 200 tons. The statues that once were more than the island population. It seems to be looking at the image of Easter Island, which was destroyed through the period of chaos, when I saw moai. Moai's form is not important because it is just a factory that makes moai. The goal of carrying moai is to go to the destination. Here we start with a nearly complete picture. And when Awaji Moai arrived on the platform near the shore, I always stood up to Moai's eyes toward the town. I've always been on the sea. Did he roll the old giant stone statue of Moai into a tree? Or was he pulled with a rope and moved around? It is an eternal mystery.

[Chile: Google Translator]
El siguiente destino es la Laorra Raku, que es el origen de la estatua moai y se llama la fábrica de fabricación. Toda la montaña está hecha de ceniza volcánica endurecida y obsidiana. Hay unos 400 moai aquí, pero no sé por qué, pero puedo ver la estatua de Moai. De aquí para allá, no puedo evitar sentirme más impresionado cuando veo lo lejos que me he movido. Es realmente fantástico . La imaginación se suma a la hipótesis de que el creador le pidió a Moai que se acercara y que el astronauta lo logró. Para 2019, hemos encontrado que hay más de 1100 moai en toda la isla. El tamaño varía de 1 a 21 m con el moai más grande. El peso es cercano a las 200 toneladas . Las estatuas que una vez fueron más que la población de la isla. Parece estar mirando la imagen de la Isla de Pascua, que fue destruida durante el período de caos, cuando vi moai. La forma de Moai no es importante porque es solo una fábrica que hace moai. El objetivo de llevar moai es ir al destino. Aquí comenzamos con una imagen casi completa. Y cuando Awaji Moai llegó a la plataforma cerca de la costa, siempre me enfrenté a los ojos de Moai hacia la ciudad. Siempre he estado en el mar. ¿Él hizo rodar la vieja estatua de piedra gigante de Moai en un árbol? ¿O fue jalado con una cuerda y se movió? Es un misterio eterno.

Tour Easter Island: The Astonishing & Massive Quarry of Rano Raraku

I saved what is arguably the #1 site on Easter Island; the quarry of Rano Rarku. Moai, moai everywhere - partially completed, in a kneeling position, tattooed, standing silently under a brilliant Easter Island sun. The statistics are as staggering as the Moai. Approximately 887 Moai were quarried here and close to 400 remain. Moai, Moai everywhere - partially completed, in a kneeling position, tattooed, standing silently under a brilliant Easter Island sun.

Look closely at the rock faces and even more Moai stared out and lay side-by-side. I don't have the linguistic ability to describe the sight and feelings that welled up in us, standing at Rano Rarku; it is truly unique out of everything we've ever been privileged to visit.

Rano Raraku, Rapa Nui, Easter Island, Chile

Rano Raraku is a volcanic crater formed of consolidated volcanic ash, or tuff, and located on the lower slopes of Terevaka in the Rapa Nui National Park on Easter Island in Chile. It was a quarry for about 500 years until the early eighteenth century, and supplied the stone from which about 95% of the island's known monolithic sculptures (moai) were carved. Rano Raraku is a visual record of moai design vocabulary and technological innovation, where 887 moai remain. Rano Raraku is in the World Heritage Site of Rapa Nui National Park and gives its name to one of the seven sections of the park.
The incomplete statues in the quarry are remarkable both for their number, for the inaccessibility of some that were high on the outside crater wall and for the size of the largest; at 21.6 m (71 feet) in height, almost twice that of any moai ever completed and weighing an estimated 270 tonnes, many times the weight of any transported.
Some of the incomplete moai seem to have been abandoned after the carvers encountered inclusions of very hard rock in the material.
Others may be sculptures that were never intended to be separated from the rock in which they are carved.
