CHILE – Rapa Nui, Easter Island
Located 3,700 kilometers from the American continent, surrounded by the world’s most transparent waters, Rapa Nui (Easter Island) is the cradle of an unusual and enigmatic culture which persists to this day. The language, music and many traditions remain alive amongst the island’s inhabitants, while the enormous carved stone moai tell of a more remote past.
The lodge is located on a hill in the Te Miro Oone area in the center of the island, 8 kilometers from Hanga Roa, the most populated part of the island.
