Overview
Easter Island
Easter Island is a little piece of land, far from any continent or archipelago (Chile and Tahiti are about 2,500 miles away), that would have been impossible to reach without the invention of caravels. The island was discovered by the Europeans when a Dutch ship came into port in the 17th century. Its history is fiercely disputed by historians who cannot agree on the original dates the island was first inhabited, or when the legendary Moais (statues representing divine ancestors) were built. Today, like the Egyptian pyramids, Pascuan statues have been restored, though they still remain shrouded in myth.

Our Editorial team's advice
In order to see the numerous archaeological remains, it is a good idea to start by taking a guided tour. In a day, you will have seen a good glimpse of different sites, and then you will be able to come back and see the ones that you like best on your own. Hotels will fill you in with information on reliable guides. Try to attend the dominical mass at Iglesia Catolica in Hanga Roa. Although it is close to the liturgy, the religion mixes words in Rapa nui and in Spanish, but best of all, offers the opportunity to hear gospels that sing traditional songs of the island.
