Unveiling the Mysteries of Easter Island

Your adventure begins this morning as you set out along the island’s southern coast to explore the untouched archaeological site of Vaihu, a place where history remains undisturbed.

Next, visit Akahanga, believed to be the resting place of the legendary King Hotu Matua, before continuing to Rano Raraku Volcano. Here, a short hike leads you to the immense crater, where countless unfinished Moai remain frozen in time, offering a glimpse into the island’s ancient craftsmanship.

Your journey then takes you to Ahu Tongariki, home to 15 majestic Moai standing proudly in formation, each one whispering stories of the past. At Te Pito Kura, marvel at the largest Moai ever erected on an Ahu, an impressive sight of both scale and mystery.

Before the day ends, soak in the beauty of Anakena Beach, a pristine paradise with golden sands and swaying palm trees—the perfect spot to unwind before returning to your hotel.

Next, explore Vinapu, an archaeological site where precisely carved stone walls bear a striking resemblance to those of Machu Picchu. Finally, venture into the mysterious cave of Ana Kai Tangata, where well-preserved cave paintings provide a glimpse into the island’s ancient artistry.

After this enriching morning, return to your hotel with time to enjoy a leisurely lunch and explore at your own pace.

Sunrise at Ahu Tongariki & Return to Santiago

Rise early for a breathtaking start to the day as we journey to Ahu Tongariki, where the first light of dawn illuminates the towering Moai statues, casting long shadows over the Bay of Hanga Nui. This magical moment, with the sun slowly emerging beyond the horizon, offers not only spectacular photo opportunities but also an unforgettable farewell to Easter Island.

After soaking in the beauty of sunrise, return to your hotel for a relaxing breakfast. Spend your final hours on the island at your own pace—perhaps taking one last stroll through its enchanting landscapes—before heading to the airport for your flight back to Santiago.
