What makes Easter Island such a great destination?
Easter Island’s concentration and variety of archaeological sites is unparalled anywhere in the Pacific. Around 1,000 of the famous statues or “living faces” lie scattered around the island, and there are stone walls, rock carvings, and lava caves. The coastlines are striking with huge waves crashing ashore and dormant volcanoes in each corner of the island. Most of the 4,000 inhabitants live in Hanga Roa village next to the airport and the remainder of the windswept island is largely unchanged since the statues were toppled centuries ago.
