About Easter Island
Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, is one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world, located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean.

Visitors are drawn to its dramatic volcanic landscapes, pristine beaches, and the enigmatic stone figures that stand as silent witnesses to a fascinating past. Beyond the moai, the island offers a glimpse into the traditions and lifestyle of the Rapa Nui people, with vibrant festivals and cultural experiences.
