Introduction
Easter Island — Rapa Nui to its people — is one of the most remote inhabited places on Earth, a triangle of volcanic grassland some 3,700 km from mainland Chile. Scattered across it stand around 900 moai, monumental figures carved to represent deified ancestors who watch over the land of their clans. At the Rano Raraku quarry dozens of unfinished statues remain embedded in the crater slope, while the fifteen restored giants of Ahu Tongariki line up with their backs to the Pacific — the island's definitive sunrise. Reaching it takes roughly a 5.5-hour flight from Santiago; give yourself at least three full days.
