Easter Island is one of the most famous attractions in Chile. The island has been part of the country since 1888 but was originally inhabited by the Rapa Nui, a Polynesian people.
It is also home to one of the richest collections of petroglyphs, or pictures carved into rock, that you will find anywhere in the region.
Easter Island is known as one of the most isolated places on Earth and is famous for its monumental statues called Moai that are one of the reasons why the island was named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995.
If you get a chance to visit Easter Island in February, you can take part in Tapati, a festival celebrating Rapa Nui culture.
