The capital of the island is found at the end of a very narrow valley, around one kilometer from the small quay where the small cargo ship's tenders offload. In the municipal museum found at the post office on the ground floor, one can admire evidence of ancient life : tikis, carvings, reproduction of old photos. Some objects (found in museums abroad) took Joseph,carver and curator of the museum more than six months to copy.Numerous Tohuas and Me'ae are visible in the village. The most beautiful is Upahaka, situated 4 km from the beach on the side of the road.
