If you are a person who like travelling a lot and seeing different places on earth,then the Easter Island is a good destination for you. The Easter Island or Rapa Nui, is a fascinating place.
The Easter Island is a Chilean Island that is located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle. It is considered as the world's most isolated inhabited island. It is famous for its 887 extant monumental statues, called "Moai," created by the early Rapa Nui people. Numerous were the ones, who tried to drill the multiple mysteries, and more still those who built the most extravagant hypotheses on the origin of its people.
The Easter Island is paradoxically one of the sites most known for the world, because its famous monoliths became a universal picture. But it is also most taken the away from any inhabited ground! Hardly 30 years ago, the island received only a warship a year, bringing foods and equipments.
The Easter Island is one of those rare places that has a reputation of which is inversely proportional to what we know about them. Its fame is, above all, based on its mysteries and legends. Some scattered certainties, which cling the scientists, and many hypotheses which fill the abysses of the general ignorance. That why you may want to visit it.
You should not approach the Easter Island as a paradise island, as you can find there only few coconut palms and only two small beaches, but rather as an island capable of raising the emotion every moment. There are few places on earth, where we feel on a surface which reduced the strength and the wealth of a big civilization, and its battle to survive.
