Extinct volcanoes and archaeological sites punctuate the map of Easter Island, a dependency of Chile between French Polynesia and South America. This triangular island measures just 11 by 23 km, making many places accessible on foot.
  • Easter Island is a territory of Chile midway between Tahiti and South America. The Spanish name is Isla de Pascua but to the Polynesian inhabitants it's Rapa Nui.
  • Easter Island is renowned for the huge statues or moai which once lined the island's shores gazing inland.
  • All were destroyed during the tribal wars which predated European colonization but several dozen heads have since been reerected.
  • These and other archaeological remains are haunting reminders of the Pacific's most powerful ancient civilization.
  • Our Easter Island map illustrates the many travel possibilities on this small island.
  • The fabulous crater of Rano Kau and the ruins of the ceremonial center of Orongo offer views of tiny Motu Nui just offshore, once the focus of the birdman cult.
  • The islands greatest sight is Rano Raraku, the quarry from which the famous statues were dragged all around the island. Almost a hundred unfinished statues lie scattered on the slopes of the volcano still waiting to be moved.
  • There's some great hiking and horseback riding to be done along the coast of this intriguing island.
  • Easter Island is easily accessible by air from Tahiti and Santiago, Chile. Numerous hotels and guest houses are available in the main town, Hanga Roa.
