Easter Island (Chile)
The Easter Island is over 2,000 miles from the nearest population
center, (Tahiti and Chile), making it one of the most isolated places on
Earth. A triangle of volcanic rock in the South Pacific - it is best
known for the giant stone monoliths, known as Moai, that dot the
coastline. The early settlers called the island "Te Pito O Te Henua"
(Navel of The World).
Today, the land, people and language are all referred to locally as Rapa
Nui.
The population of Easter Island reached its peak at perhaps more than
10,000, far exceeding the capabilities of the small island's ecosystem.
In this regard, Easter Island has become, for many, a metaphor for
ecological disaster.
Eventually, all of the Moai standing along the coast were torn down by
the islanders themselves. All of the statues now erected around the
island are the result of recent archaeological efforts.
Contacts with western "civilization" proved even more disastrous for the
island population which, through slavery and disease, had decreased to
approximately 110 by the turn of the century. Following the annexation
by Chile in 1888, however, it has risen to more than 2,000, with other
Rapanui living in Chile, Tahiti and North America. Despite a growing
Chilean presence, the island's Polynesian identity is still quite
strong.
Easter Island today, remains one of the most unique places you will ever
encounter; an open air museum showcasing a fascinating,The Rapanui are
among the friendliest people you will ever meet, and the landscape is
truly amazing - with its volcanic craters, lava formations, beaches,
brilliant blue water, and archaeological sites .
Lan Chile flies to Easter Island, with flights operating between
Santiago, Chile and Papeete,Tahiti. Airfare from Santiago,Chile to
Easter Island and back. Notably, the tourism on Easter Island is run
entirely by the Rapanui themselves. In late January to early February
the islanders celebrate Tapati, a festival honoring the Polynesian
cultural heritage of the island.
