Another Rapa Nui cave not to miss! Ana Kai Tangata is just off the main ocean road close to the airport on way to Orongo. Look for the signs. It's a short walk to the ocean where you will see a staircase cut out of the cliffside leading down to the cave on the edge of the ocean with the water crashing up against the rocks. This cave is more shell-like than the other caves on Rapa Nui, which are hidden underground. There are a lot of large rocks inside and around the cave, which is not very deep. There is a unique history to this cave and some locals won't go into the cave. I would recommend checking out this cave.
