Te Pito Te Henua means the navel of the world, and this one is on Easter Island. A little more than 20 kilometers from Hanga Roa you will find a perfectly round stone, surrounded by other smaller ones that symbolizes "the navel of the world" for the people of Easter.



The meaning of "whistle" is translated into Spanish in uterus, center and navel, while "henua" is land, territory and universe.





Fifth region. Located 26 kilometers northeast of Hanga Roa and 3700 kilometers northwest of Valparaíso.



Land route from Avenida Hotu Matua to Vaihu. Then take Vaitea to the northeast.







Other aspects of rapa Nui worth investigating include the Rongo Rongo writing that has not yet been deciphered, the annual man-bird cult that succeeded that of the moai, and the myths surrounding ´´Te Pito Te Henua´´ , this stone that the Rapa Nui believed to be the navel of the earth, or, in other words, the center of the universe.
