After a five-and-a-half-hour flight from the South American continent, you’ll find yourself on this remote island in the heart of the Pacific. Here, the gentle sea breeze carries whispers of centuries of silence and enigma.
As you wander among the towering moai, gazing out to the vast ocean, following the path of the setting sun, or dancing under the starlit sky, you’ll be captivated by the stories shared by your guide. Each tale brings the rich cultural heritage to life, immersing you in the profound history and mystique of the island.
Traveling from Shanghai, the journey spans an impressive 29,333 kilometers (taking the shortest route), making this one of the most distant destinations for an adventurous excursion, second only to Antarctica.
Easter Island seems like a perfect place for adventure seekers! The budget self-guided tour idea is great, but I’d still want a local guide for some insider tips. Those moai statues and stargazing spots sound incredible. Definitely adding this to my travel list!
