Easter Island Chile

Easter Island is an island belonging to Chile, located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the farthest southeastern point of the Polynesian Triangle. Easter Island is renowned for its 887 remaining monumental statues, known as moai, which were crafted by the early Rapa Nui people. In 1995, UNESCO designated Easter Island as a World Heritage Site, with a large portion of the island safeguarded within the Rapa Nui National Park. Easter Island is one of the most isolated inhabited islands on the planet. The most popular tourist attractions on Easter Island are the Moai statues that stand on ceremonial platforms known as Ahus. Additionally, Rano Raraku and Orongo require entry to the national park. Two remarkable sites are the volcanic craters of Rano Kau and Rano Raraku. The quarry slightly inland at "Rano Raraku" is where the majority of the moais were carved, on a hillside.
