From the edge of the crater of Rano Kao Volcano., you can see the three small islands of Motu Iti, Motu Nui and Moto Kao Kao which play an important part in the 'bird man' legends.
Next to the crater is the ancient ceremonial site of Orongo where there are many petroglyphs. There are images of the 'bird man' Tangata Manu, the god creator Make Make and also Komari, fertility symbols.
