EASTER ISLAND TRAVEL
Often referred to as "the world's largest open-air museum" Easter Island is the mystical and picturesque island getaway for your Chile vacation. With its riveting volcano hikes, striking beaches and rich cultural points of interest, this island is not lacking in activity and interest. Archaeologists believe it was most probably settled by Polynesians who ventured across the Pacific, and was first discovered by Europeans on Easter Sunday, 1722, hence the name. The fascinating and tragic history unfolds before your eyes on this mysterious island dotted with large monolithic statues.
“Easter Island is simply spellbinding. It will take your heart and your soul in a few days. It is one of the most isolated places on earth, a tiny speck of land blessed with an extraordinary collection of archaeological sites, including the iconic Easter Island statues, scattered amid an eerie landscape.”
These enigmatic statues impress an image of rich cultural history and fantastic advancement that stays with the visitor forever. Set amidst this volcanic island rearing its head out of vast and seemingly endless ocean, Easter Island is a culture zealot’s paradise.
DONT JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
Thanks for putting together a great itinerary. I had a fabulous time. Buenos Aires, Mendoza and Santiago de Chile each were exciting and interesting in their own way and greatly exceeded my expectations!.

We are back in Malta! We would like to thank you and your team for a most enjoyable vacation. Considering the many countries (Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil) we visited, and the 14 flights we took, all went well.
Oliver, Malta.
Our trip was incredibly successful in three different countries: Chile, Brazil and Peru. And in every instance, the coordination of details and execution were impeccably accurate regardless of the country visited. Success at every stage was achieved regardless of location, the weather, the country and/or the time of day or night we traveled and were sight-seeing.

FEATURED EASTER ISLAND TOURS
WHAT TO DO ON EASTER ISLAND
Rano Raraku Quarry
The highlight of any visit to Easter Island are the enormous and thrilling statues, locally known as moais, and Rano Raraku Quarry, which alone has more than 300 statues including one the size of a 7-story building. At the quarry, you can see moais in various stages of completion; from a rough outline in the ground to the nearly finished product. It seems that the carvers simply laid down their tools one day, never to take them up again.
If you make your way to the south-eastern side of the quarry, you will discover moai Tukuturi, who is the only crouching moai on the island. If you look closely, you’ll also see that he has a beard, another unique quality.
Orongo Ceremonial Village
Poised on the edge of the Rano Kau crater, looming above the Pacific, Orongo ceremonial village boasts one of the world’s most dramatic landscapes. Discover the petroglyph-covered altar at this central site of the former bird-cult rituals performed in the 18th and 19th centuries; stand in this fascinating archaeological site, while history unfolds before your eyes. In the apex of cult ceremonies, young men raced to retrieve a Sooty Tern egg from the islets just offshore. The first to find an egg became birdman for the year.
Scuba Dive in Motu Nui
Motu Nui is the largest of the three islets found on Easter Island, and a great place to strap on your snorkel or scuba gear and dive into crystal clear blue waters. With 40+ meters of visibility, comb the ocean floor and explore the wealth of fish, algae rocks and coral in the electric blue waters. Glancing beyond the surface of the waters back towards the island, you will marvel at the summit of a large volcanic mountain rising over 2,000 meters from the sea bed looming above you in the background.
When To Visit Easter Island
Easter Island is a great Chile travel destination any time of year. Peak tourist season runs from January to March which results scarce accommodation and high prices. Book well in advance to experience the Tapati Rapa Nui ten day festival is held in February, a fun celebration sharing history and culture. The rest of the year is less crowded and at times you'll have the whole island to yourself. July and August are the coolest months and make for spectacular hiking.
