We explore three archaeological sites, beginning with a 20-minute trek to Ana te Pahu, a significant subway cave in the Roiho area. Once a tribal residence boasting a freshwater source and diverse flora, its name "Te Pahu," meaning "drum" in Rapanui, originates from its resonating petrified lava floor.
