Easter Island Vacation Guide
One of the most isolated spots on Earth, Easter Island sits 2,200 miles (3,600km) west of the South American coast.
A possession of Chile, the island has attracted visitors worldwide because of its strange stone faces called "Moai." Believed to be made between the years of 1000-1650 AD, there are around 887 of the oversized head/small bodied designs, which are believed to honor dead relatives and tribal chiefs. They are made out of a volcanic ash called Tuff. Besides the old culture has brought an unknown language, called rongo-rongo, it's written very rarely And noone knows what the plates and sticks means.
The island is populated, albeit barely. Only about 3,300 people call Easter Island home, and they are mainly situated in the town of Hanga Roa. Witch is it capital.

Easter Island, Chile -› -› …
So I woke up that day at a very early hour, and drove up Ranu Kau to check the sunrise. Killin'!
On my way down, I decided I felt like meeting new people, so I drove to Aku Aku, and signed in for a day tour of the island. On paper it did not sound that exciting, since some months before I'd alread…
