There are also several remains of hare paenga (boat houses), which were part of the ceremonial center.<\/p>\n<h2>A place of legend<\/h2>\n<p>Hanga Kio&#8217;e means &#8220;Bay of the Mouse&#8221; and it seems that the name comes from an old legend about a widow who entered this small cove with a mouse in the mouth, in mourning for the death of her husband, whose remains were buried here after the ahu (ceremonial platform) was built.<\/p>\n<p>The moai that rises on the Ahu Akapu has a height of 4 meters and is complete, only lacks the pukao (stone hat). On the other hand the Ahu Hanga Kio&#8217;e, only has a part of the back erected on the platform, that was rescued from the bay.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18710\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18710\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18710 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/imaginarapanui.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/Hanga-Kioe-Isla-de-Pascua3.jpg?resize=700%2C468&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Primer plano del moai de Ahu Akapu\" width=\"700\" height=\"468\" data-id=\"18710\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ahu Akapu&#8217;s moai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Behind the ahu, the terrain forms a small hill that offers beautiful views of the whole, with Hanga Roa in the background and the waves roaring among lava cliffs.
