Arch

The arches are signs to welcome visitors. The leaders who wear hats on the arch statues are actual leaders whose job is to count how many visitors visit the island each day and to ensure they pay the fee  to the island.  There were many arches along the main road that leads to the plaza. It was a good place to rest a bit to catch your breath before climbing more hills. Arches also separate different communities ( there were 6 on the island).
