Anakena Ahu Nau Nau Easter Island

AHU AND MOAIS FROM ANAKENA

The majestic moais at Ahu Nau Nau, on the beach of Anakena on Easter Island.

"Ahu" is the name for the platforms on which the moais were built, carved out of basalt rock by the Rapa Nuis in honor of their ancestors.

The ahu on the beach of Anakena is called Ahu Nau Nau, a platform with seven moais, five of which are in a very good state of preservation compared to the other moais on Easter Island, because they were buried in the sand for a long time, which protected them from erosion. Therefore, one can still admire the beautiful engravings on their backs.

Our cosmetic brand Anakena owes its name to this magical place.
