Hitia'a 'o te Ra

Among the communities on Tahiti’s eastern coast, Hitiaa O Te Ra stands out for its long Pacific shoreline and its position between the ocean and the island’s steep interior. The commune lies northeast of Papeete and includes Papenoo, where the Papenoo Valley leads inland toward Tahiti’s mountainous centre. Marae Mahaiatea at Papenoo is an important reminder of pre-colonial Tahitian ceremonial architecture; it was built under Pōmare I in the late 18th century.
