The wharf in Hotu Matua square is the meeting point for Rapa Nui indigenous people in Hanga Roa, the capital and only town on Easter Island or Rapa Nui. In February, the triathlon competition of the annual Tapati festival is held there, which includes swimming on totora reed rafts and running with bunches of bananas around the neck, and is one of the traditional activities being revived in Chile’s Polynesian island.
