Ma'unga Terevaka proudly stands as the island's tallest volcano, soaring 511 meters above sea level. From its summit, you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the island surrounded by the vast Pacific Ocean, giving you a sense of being in one of the most remote places on Earth.
Terevaka is part of a trio of volcanoes, along with Poike and Rano Kau, that shaped the island's unique triangular silhouette. Rather than a singular crater, this volcano boasts an intricate network of smaller volcanic centers. The slopes of Terevaka hold archaeological remnants, including over 400 stone foundations of houses and various ceremonial sites, showcasing its historical significance.
The ascent to Terevaka, though not a top priority for travelers with limited time, it beckons those who enjoy hiking and want to experience the island's natural beauty beyond the iconic moai statues.
It is advisable to plan the visit in advance and come prepared with sun protection, comfortable attire, sturdy footwear, and a windbreaker or raincoat. Exploring Terevaka in the early morning or late afternoon is ideal to avoid the intense midday sun.
