Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is politically part of Chile and lies isolated in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. It is world-famous for its monumental stone statues, the Moai, created by the island’s Polynesian culture. In addition to its archaeological sites, Easter Island features volcanic landscapes, grasslands, and a unique cultural heritage.
