Intro
The Tapati Rapa Nui is the main cultural festival on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), celebrated for two weeks each year to honor the island's ancestral traditions. Its most famous attractions are intense ancestral competitions like the daring Haka Pei (sliding down a steep hill on banana trunks) and the Tau'a Rapa Nui triathlon, all highlighted by traditional Ori Rapa Nui dancing and body painting ceremonies.
