Easter Island Tiny, isolated Easter Island is famed for its groups of enigmatic moai: the huge stone heads that stare inwards over the island’s rugged Polynesian landscape. It is also famously remote, lying alone in seemingly endless ocean: its nearest neighbour is over 2,000km away.
Where: Easter Island is part of Chilean territory but lies in the South Pacific, five hours by air from Santiago.
Best time to go: Easter Island enjoys a comfortable climate year-round and can be visited at any time.
How to get there: There are direct flights from Santiago, Chile.
Combines well with: Chile and Argentina.
Length of stay: We recommend a stay of around 4 nights on the island itself, with at least a week or two in mainland South America before or afterwards.
