Our garden offers a unique opportunity to explore the remarkable biodiversity of native and endemic plants found on Rapa Nui. Each "manavai" houses a distinctive collection of species, including some that are endemic to this remote island.
Environmental and Social Impact
The "Manavai" Project is not solely focused on botanical conservation. We are also fostering connections between generations by engaging the local community in planting, maintenance, and educational activities.

"The manavai are a testament to the ingenious ways in which ancient cultures harmonized with nature. These stone formations not only protected vital crops from the elements, but also symbolized the Rapa Nui people's deep understanding of their environment and the need for sustainable practices."
