Famous for its Moai or
Ancient Monolithic Stone Statues, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is rated as one of
the most isolated place that basks in nature’s spectacle. Planning for a trip
to Rapa Nui will prove to be a once-in-a-lifetime stop over that will leave you
enthralled. One of the most unique destinations in South America, Easter Island
thrives with a culture and history, which is utterly distinct from the mainland
of Chile. It is believed that the Rapa Nui or Easter Island was formed by a
volcanic eruption in the South Pacific Ocean, which gave rise to this tiny
speck of land.
Are you thinking getting
in to Easter Island is very difficult? Normally, most of the people think that
only the highly intrepid traveler can reach Easter Island, which is not true.
Because of an extreme geographic isolation, most of the people have this
thinking. But it is a fact that, the Rapa Nui is accessible by regular
commercial air service to its Hanga Roa airport. These days, tourism is the
main industry of Easter Island, for which you will find a good number of
flights to access this mysterious island. When arriving from the Chilean
mainland via a domestic flight, you need not have to present a passport on
arrival. But if you are coming via a flight from Tahiti to Easter Island then
it is important to present the passport at the arrival.
