This lake-filled crater is filled with remnants of the Birdman cult practiced until 1867.

Most interesting history about the Birdman cult where you can view the islands where the swimmers went to acquire the bird eggs and see the structures that the islanders lived in on the island.

Great experience: high quality museum, picturesque fort and nice walk. It is also very well managed. We went with our rented motorhome and got assistance all the way to make sure we could drive smoothly

Ahu Vinapu is an interesting archeological site in Easter Island. It has a ceremonial center, which includes one of the larger ahu(platform) on Rapa Nui. The ahu exhibits extraordinary stonemasonry consisting of large, carefully fitted slabs of basalt. This site was investigated by an American archaeologist, William Mulloy, in 1958. Certainly worth visiting for seeing the artwork from yesteryears, while in Easter Island.

This is a must see place in santiago, is the president office and use to be the place where they kept the coins. Every other day around 10 am they have the change of guards ceremony with a band. You can also go to the Centro Cultural Palacio la Moneda, right next to the palace undergournd and if you are lucky it has a very good exhibition, sometimes coming from the best museums of the world.

This place is very special! Very peaceful and with a stunning view of the sea, with Moais fixed in front ot it. This sum - Moais + sea - turns the Mirador Tahai an unique place to see the stunning sunset. I was really glad to be lodged near this site, and would definitely repeat the experience in another visit to the Island. Have a beer at Puka Puka restaurant before going down to the sunset spot and enjoy an unforgetful moment!
