Vinapu is located on the south-west corner of the island in a valley facing the coast. The statues which once stood on the two altars here are all broken and lying in pieces in the rubble. There is evidence that the statues had all been toppled by the 19th century.
The most exciting find here is the stonework of this wall, since it does resemble the work attributed to the Incas at Cusco, Peru. The walls give evidence that the island had three distinct building periods. The wall could have been built in the early period, the statues were erected on the altars in the middle period, and in the latter period, the stones were removed to be used for burial sites.
