Tehueto Tohua
Tehueto Tohua submitted by DrewParsons : One of the platform terraces. November 2005. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Ceremonial site north east of Atuona on Hiva Oa in the Marquesas Group, in the Pacific.

In November 2005 when I visited the site it was difficult to reach and thoroughly overgrown. It comprises a terraced area with tiki faces carved into some of the lava blocks which form the retaining walls of the terraces. The route to the site crossed a stream by a ford and progressed into thick undergrowth a couple of kilometres from the road. It is located in the Tahauku Valley north east of Atuona. To reach the site you probably need a guide until it is cleared of tropical growth.
