Mangaia Cook Islands include map

Mangaia Guidance

A fortress-like makatea of raised coral encircles the island.
Along the makatea a series of huge limestone caves,
once used as burial tombs, yield artifacts that tell archaeologist of ancient life and customs on what has been carbon dated as one of the oldest island in the Pacific.
Inland, low lying swamps product a high quality taro-a Polynesian staple root crop.
From the swamps the land rises through rolling hills to the plateau at Rangimotia in the centre almost equidistant around the periphery of the island.
Oneroa hosts the Post Office, Government officer and major traders.

A temperate climate and rich volcanic soil provide the island with ideal planting conditions for a wide variety of vegetables and fruits.
Mangaian people have earned a reputation as being hard working and independent.
