HIGHLIGHTS
There’s no inhabited spot in the world quite so isolated as Chilean Polynesia. A mere dot in the vast Pacific Ocean, Rapa Nui (Easter Island) is a one-of-a-kind destination whose very remoteness lends it unmistakable authenticity and an aura of mystery. It’s high time to come and uncover its secrets!
Explore Rapa Nui’s pink-sand beaches, its volcanic cones and windswept grasslands, and of course, the monumental moai statues – over 1,000 of them bearing silent witness to a long-lost, complex society.
Discover the intriguing culture of the rapa nui people during Tapati, a traditional festival held in February in which local teams compete in challenges to test their ability in time-honored Easter Island skills.

Breakfast
The trip starts out very early. Visitors are collected at their hotels from 06:00 to 07:00 am, depending on whether its summer or winter. Later the road leads to the southern coast area until reaching Ahu Tongariki, the largest ceremonial center in all of Polynesia. Fifteen Moais stand here, more than 14 meters (45.9 ft.) tall, representing the islanders’ ancestors, hence their different shapes and sizes. The waves crashing against the cliffs and the sun timidly rising from behind the gigantic sculptures are part of this great sunrise spectacle. Great time for photos and walking around the site.
