Dream Vacation On Easter Island

There’s really one word that describes the incredible statues on Easter Island, and that word is “iconic”. You’ve seen pictures before of the huge statuary, but imagine what it would feel like to get a good look at these up close and personal? The huge statues, called “moai” number over 100, and so far no one has actually figured out how or why they’re there.

The stone figures are located all over the island, but some spots are more significant than others. At Nau Nau, near the island’s prettiest beach, each of the seven moai sports a pukao — a red, hat-like topknot — and the altar is surrounded by grazing horses. At Tongariki, 15 moai stand in a row right by the sea. Tahai, just outside the main town, has a trio of altars, with restored stone huts, and a worthwhile anthropological museum, known as MAPSE

If you don’t feel like gazing at big rockheads, there’s still plenty for you to do. Easter Island is a vacation that can hold enormous potential for loves of ancient art, and lovers of the beauty of nature.
