Vinapu Ahu with its tumbled down Moai.

A view from the side, showing the vertical wall in back and the eroded Moai.

The very old Moai behind Vinapu Ahu.

A view of the Vinapu wall from behind.

The left end of the Vinapu wall, showing how closely fitted the stones are.

The middle of the wall. See how carefully the stones have been cut to fit.

Looking toward the right end of the wall. These blocks are made of very hard lava, not the soft kind used for the statues.

The right end of the wall. This is the part that reminded me of a wall at Cuzco, Peru.
