Ancient Ruins & Archaeological Discovery: Private Expert-Led Tour

Explore Uaunoqay's most significant pre-colonial archaeological site with a dedicated historian-archaeologist as your sole guide. Touch millennia of history, decipher petroglyphs, and understand a civilisation that has shaped this island to its core.

What to expect

A private vehicle collects you from the pier and winds up into the island's elevated interior, where the ruins emerge dramatically from the jungle. Your archaeologist narrates the rise and ritual life of the civilisation that built these stone complexes, pointing out astronomical alignments and intricate carvings invisible to the untrained eye. A section of active excavation is shown exclusively to your group. The visit closes with a curated tasting of traditional island foods in the shade of the ancient walls.
