Easter Island, Chile

Mysterious Moai  Statues of the Easter Island , Chile

Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui is an isolated piece of land with ever-rising tourism. Although Easter Island is isolated, yet a culture that flourished there shaped artistic monuments and the residents today are trying to maintain their culture as well as manage the potential risks that come with tourism.
There are several itineraries available for touring (both privately and in small groups) that would include accommodations on Easter Island as well as the airfare from a particular city.
Easter Island, which is located west of the Chilean coastline, is not only known for being the most isolated place on Earth, but also for its giant statues. Tourists generally indulge in daily outings to caves and monuments as well as become acquainted with the natives and their culture.
The marvelous walls made of stone at Ahu Vinapu are a must see. Judging by the architecture of these walls, it’s a common belief that the early inhabitants had arrived from South America. Apart from Ahu Vinapu, Rano Raraku, and Sebastian Englert Anthropological Museum are totally worth a couple of hours as well. This anthropological museum is a large room containing information and historical artifacts regarding the early inhabitants.
Tourists should also look to explore the area by adding some adventure such as hiking up the Orongo volcano and deep diving. The divers would be able to enjoy the clear visibility as good as any other place in the world.
