Easter Island

May 24, 2023  •  Leave a Comment

Remote Island in middle of Pacific Ocean, famous for iconic Moai sculptures, I always wanted to see since getting infatuated by Erich Von Daniken books in early childhood.  Finally in Spring of '23 I visited "Isla De Pascua", as part of longer South American journey.  Often you get disappointed by simply expecting too much, but in this case my expectations were exceeded!  It is a different world and words or pictures can't really describe it.  Photo below is from Ahu Tongariki, one of main 2 Archaeological sites at North Part of the Island, with Poike volcano in the background

It is impossible to even remotely appreciate this site on a brief tour with "guide"; luckily it is still visible from the road, just far away. Poike volcano in the background

Extensive gallery and write-up at Travel section of the website should be enough to provide logistic and visual incentive to start planning your own journey.  Should you have more questions, contact me using main site menu.   Happy Travels!
