Description

Puu Loa, translated as the "long hill"or "Hill-(of)-long-(life)" from Hawaiian, is a place sacred to the people of Hawai`i, and those of Kalapana on the Big Island in particular.

​

Located near the coastline in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, this heritage site has petroglyphs dating as far back as the 16th century. These figures are a glimpse into a lost era from old Hawaii.
