Ilha de Páscoa


-
This Chilean island is famous for its enormous stone statues, known as moais, which are a true archaeological enigma. These giant statues are a testament to the ancient civilization that inhabited the island and still leave many unanswered questions about how they were constructed and transported. In addition to the moai, Easter Island has a rich Polynesian culture, stunning beaches, impressive volcanoes and a unique and mysterious atmosphere. The mix of history, incredible landscapes and the enigmatic aura of the moai make this place a truly special tourist destination.
