| Easter Island is called
Isla de Pascua, the natives call it Rapa Nui or Te Pito te Henua ( world's
belly button). Its only city is Hanga Roa where all the hotels are located.
Easter Island is 14 miles long by 7 miles wide, it's about 2,332 miles
off the coast of Chile. Known for its Moais (stone statues), it is a must
for people into ancient mysteries. Some of these Moais weigh up to 50 tons
and are over 25 feet high. Also ancient shrines, some 240 in all, dot the
island. Don't expect a lot of discos and movie houses, but its natural
beauty more than makes up for their absence. There are frequent flights
from Santiago that take about 4 or 5 hours.
Although Easter Island is remote by any standards its available accommodations are excellent with 5 star hotels to very cozy bed and breakfasts
