Easter Island

The most distant island in the world is located in the Pacific Ocean, at a distance of almost 4000 km from South America. This Easter Island (Easter island, Isla de Pascua, Rapa Nui) is an amazing place, the birthplace of Moai. Who has ever dreamed of going there? It seems to me that everyone ever thinks about going on a tour on Easter Island and feeling like Tour Heyerdal. At least in dreams. For some reason, this volcanic island in the middle of the ocean has become a symbol of a mysterious place, native to everyone, but equally incomprehensible.

And I do not exaggerate when I say that we can call the distant Rapa Nui to our relatives. But to find out for sure, you need to find out how to get there in the most budgetary way.

Think about this place. A small piece of land formed by three volcanoes somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Its nearest neighbors are at a distance of more than 3,700 km — this is Chile — and 4,000 km if you decide to visit the idols of Easter Island from another beautiful place on Earth, from Tahiti. Although, to be honest, Pitkairn Island is closer, but there is no air communication with it. As you can see, all this way is not close. So the preparation for this journey must begin from afar.

We also wanted to take a closer look at the island, which the language doesn’t turn to call Chilean, and its population. Yes, legally Easter Island is part of Chile, and in fact its residents do not even pay taxes, that's it! And almost all of their income associated with tourists visiting the island in limited groups. Every day they fly and flies as much as the only airline that flies here from the mainland. So let's begin, of course, with the purchase of tickets, to be among the lucky ones who have visited Easter Island and seen stone idols.
